“They think that’s the birthright of their, cleanliness and basic civic sense are an eternal enemy of them,” a user wrote. “This kind of people is so dangerous for society,” another user commented.

“He might or might not have a kidney issue which can create extreme urge. In my personal experience, I have seen people from rural backgrounds behaving better in urban public spaces than shehris,” a third user reacted. “Why aren’t people throwing him out of the train?” a fourth user said.

Back in August, a similar incident came to light where a video showed a man letting his young son urinate near the platform edge at Inderlok Metro Station, just moments before a train’s arrival.

The video showed the father standing by as the child urinates on the tracks. A bystander, who is also filming, can be heard criticising the scene, “They have no shame. They are making their son urinate in a public space… At the Inderlok metro station.”
