Smoking within the metro premises is strictly prohibited and constitutes a punishable offense. To promote awareness of various issues, including public etiquette, the urban transport authority frequently employs social media platforms.
The video has provoked strong reactions from numerous social media users. One individual commented, "Instead of recording his video, people should have educated him on the spot about not engaging in such activities on the metro. He appears to be uneducated, so we can't entirely blame him for this act."
Another user found humor in the situation, writing, "Haha, this video made my day! You've got to love the unique encounters on the Delhi Metro. Let's hope the DCP takes appropriate action on this one."

A third user pointed out the dual offenses, stating, "There are two offenses: 1. Smoking in the metro 2. Videography in the metro."
This incident follows a series of similar videos that generated controversy earlier this year, prompting the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to announce enhanced patrolling at stations and inside trains. Uniformed security personnel and plainclothes staff members were enlisted to bolster security measures in response to these incidents.
