Meanwhile, one of the social media users supported the incident saying, "People in Dehli will literally walk past a man stabbing a woman to death like its not their business, but PDA is where they draw the line." Another user said, "Kiss more and kiss open. Kiss often. Make them jealous. Cheers, to love." At the same time, there were others who criticised the act.
It is to be noted that the Delhi Metro had previously issued an advisory criticizing such instances. As well as warning the commuters against filming videos on trains. In a statement, DMRC said, "Any such activity that may cause inconvenience to passengers is strictly prohibited inside the Delhi Metro."
They added, "Commuters should not indulge in any indecent/obscene activity that may cause discomfort or could offend the sensibilities of other fellow commuters. DMRC's Operations and Maintenance Act, in fact, lists out indecency as a punishable offence under Section 59."
