Person who filmed incident shares experience
The man who recorded the video explained the situation in a detailed Instagram post. He said he first noticed the littering while he was near Dhaula Kuan Metro Station. According to his post, he initially tried to warn the man about throwing trash on the road. However, the warning was ignored.
“I saw a man throwing a lot of trash one by one out of his car,” he wrote. “Firstly, I started to warn him and he ignored. Then I turned on my camera and you can see all of it.”
He further said that after he began filming, the man allegedly tried to chase him. The person recording the video then moved inside the metro station for safety and went upstairs near metro police staff.
The Instagram user also shared his disappointment in the caption, saying he had travelled to many countries and wished to promote better cleanliness habits in India.
However, he said that people often become aggressive when someone points out such behaviour.
