A video from Delhi Metro’s Kalkaji Mandir Metro Station has gone viral online after a woman confronted an elderly man for allegedly urinating inside a lift at the station while other passengers were also inside. The video was posted on Instagram by entrepreneur Deepshika Mehta.
In the video, Mehta can be seen filming the elderly man inside the metro station and questioning him about the incident. She said she entered the lift with the man and two other passengers when she realised what was happening.
🚨SHAMELESS: This man was at Delhi Metro’s Kalkaji station.
Even with two young women standing inside the lift, he shamelessly started urinating right there in front of them.
He may be around 60 years old, but age clearly hasn’t brought him any basic civic sense or decency.… pic.twitter.com/fpqiBC2Ijp

During the argument, the elderly man allegedly replied, “Haan toh sorry, jo karna hai karlo,” while staying calm.
The clip soon went viral on social media, with many people expressing anger and concern over cleanliness and public behaviour inside metro stations.
