Delhi Police Releases Picture Of Man Masturbating In Metro

Delhi metro is often in news and viral trends and most of the time, it's for the wrong reasons. Whether it is a couple making out in a metro or a girl wearing rather unusual clothes while traveling, people witness a lot of different scenes in the metro which are sometimes wholesome and other times disturbing just like the video of a man masturbating.

Delhi Metro gets thousands of travellers on a daily basis which includes women, children, tourists and senior citizens. Hence, it becomes extremely important to make sure that these travellers are safe and comfortable in the metro but that is not the case always as there are people who make it difficult for their co-passengers to travel comfortably.

Last month, a video from the Delhi metro went viral on the internet in which a man can be seen looking at something on his phone and masturbating while being surrounded by other passengers. Recently, Delhi police released the picture of the accused man in order to find him.

When the video went viral on the internet, the public as well as the chief of the Delhi Commission for Women(DCW), Swati Maliwal brought the sickening act to the notice of Delhi police and demanded action against the accused. Delhi police filed a case against the man in the video under Indian Penal Code's section 294 for obscene acts and songs. Now, they have released the photo of the accused seeking help from the public to recognise him and give them information about him. They also posted the picture online and reportedly mentioned that the identity of the informer will remain anonymous.

When the incident went viral on the internet last month, the DCW chief expressed her concern over the increasing number of such cases in metro. She asked Delhi police to take strict action against such people so that women and other passengers can travel safely in the metro. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has reportedly increased the number of flying squads in the metro to ensure that everything and everyone is alright during the journey.
