In the now-viral video, Mehta is seen questioning the elderly man about his actions inside the metro lift. During the confrontation, the man allegedly responded, “Ha toh sorry, jo karna hai karlo,” appearing calm despite the situation.
The video spread rapidly across social media platforms, with thousands of users reacting to the incident and sharing their views in the comments section.
Delhi Police Says It Was A Medical Emergency
After the clip gained attention online, Delhi Police issued a clarification regarding the incident in the comments section of the post.
According to police officials, the incident took place around 9:40 PM on May 15, 2026. The elderly passenger was reportedly travelling from Jamia Metro Station towards Faridabad when he experienced a sudden medical emergency during the interchange at Kalkaji Mandir Metro Station.
Police said the man tried to find a toilet facility but could not locate one in time. Authorities claimed that when the situation became uncontrollable, he urinated into a bottle while inside the lift.
Metro staff and security personnel were later informed by fellow passengers and action was taken immediately.
Fine Imposed Under DMRC Act
Officials confirmed that the passenger was fined under Section 59 of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Act for causing public nuisance inside metro premises.
The DMRC regularly imposes penalties for actions that affect cleanliness, passenger comfort and public order within metro stations and trains.

The incident triggered mixed reactions online. Many users supported the woman who recorded the video and called for stricter action against such behaviour in public places.
One user wrote, “Such a shame, I hope you’re alright!” Another commented, “The metro authority should take strict action to ensure a safer environment for commuters.”
