‘Inhe koi sharam nahi aa rahi’: Child urinates on Delhi Metro tracks; father faces backlash over lack of civic responsibility

NEW DELHI: A recent video has stirred public outrage after a child was seen urinating on the tracks at Delhi’s Inderlok Metro Station. The boy was accompanied by his father. The footage, now widely shared across social media, captures the father standing next to his son while the child urinates on the tracks.

A bystander begins filming the scene, apparently to highlight the lack of civic sense. “Inhe koi sharam nahi aa rahi. Public space mein, Inderlok metro station pe, ye apne bachche ko susu karwa rahe hain,” the person recording says, panning the camera to show the metro station signage and the act itself. The video is shared by X handle @TazaTamacha.

As the situation unfolds, another man, likely a DMRC employee can be seen approaching the father and urging him to stop.

The father appears to mutter a response before walking away with his son. The man filming continues, calling them “The most uncivilised people of India.” The video has reignited the ongoing debate on civic sense in the country, with many expressing concern over public behavior and hygiene. Some viewers have pointed out that education does not necessarily equate to civic responsibility. The father drew widespread criticism for normalizing public urination in front of his child.

One commenter remarked, "These same people will blame govt and country for not keeping clean."Another person said "Why he is not penalised , samjhane se log nahi darte jab tak 10-20 hzar ka chalan na ho !"” The incident has become yet another flashpoint in conversations around public conduct, responsibility, and the role of parenting in instilling civic values.
