The clip quickly triggered widespread reactions online, with many users expressing shock, discomfort, and concern over the incident.
In the viral video, the woman is seen confronting the elderly man and questioning why he allegedly urinated inside the lift despite other commuters being present.

The statement further noted that some passengers objected to the act and alerted CISF and DMRC personnel, following which authorities intervened and initiated action.
Police also clarified that the elderly man suffers from a bladder-control-related medical condition and carries a bottle while travelling for emergencies. Authorities stated that he was penalised under Section 59 of the DMRC Act for creating nuisance inside metro premises.
