The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has decided to increase patrolling by uniformed security personnel and staffers in plain clothes aboard trains after several “inappropriate” videos of riders caused controversy in recent weeks, officials said on Tuesday. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Metro) Jitendra Mani said a strict action as per the law will be taken against “those found indulging in any obscene activities” inside the Metro or around its premises.

The latest video uploaded on social media purportedly showed a couple kissing as they sat on the floor of a Metro coach. The DMRC appealed to commuters to refrain from indulging in public display of affection. The video enraged many who urged the DMRC to take action, while others questioned the idea of filming the act, thus invading someone’s privacy.
