In the bustling city of Delhi, where the Delhi Metro system serves as a lifeline for millions of commuters, an unusual incident recently grabbed headlines. A viral video emerged, capturing the moment an elderly man lit a ‘bidi’ while on a metro train. This incident shrouded in mystery due to the lack of exact details regarding its date and location, has left the public curious and concerned.
Lighting Up a ‘Bidi’ in Public
The video in question depicts an elderly passenger taking out a ‘bidi’ from his pocket and nonchalantly lighting it up while surrounded by fellow commuters. However, this seemingly routine act didn’t go unnoticed. Some of the passengers objected vocally to this act of lighting up a ‘bidi’ in a confined public space. The elderly man, in his defense, reportedly pointed out that he possessed a valid metro ticket as if it justified his actions.
The video quickly gained traction on various social media platforms, triggering a wave of discussions and debates. Hundreds of users took to the internet, seeking responses from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and other responsible authorities. However, despite the growing clamor for an official statement, the DMRC and related officials have remained conspicuously silent on the matter. Watch this video
