In a statement, the DMRC had said it "expects commuters to behave responsibly while using the Delhi Metro and follow all social etiquette and protocols which are acceptable in the society". "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," it said.
