A major confrontation unfolded inside a Delhi Metro train at AIIMS Metro station late Saturday night when a female passenger discovered a CISF constable surreptitiously taking photographs of her. Upon realizing that the security personnel was recording or photographing her without permission, the woman immediately raised an objection right inside the coach. The initial verbal argument quickly escalated into a heated altercation and a physical scuffle over the device, drawing the attention of fellow commuters on board. Dismayed by the behavior of the officer entrusted with transit security, several co-passengers stepped in to support the woman and confronted the constable on the spot.
Emergency PCR Call Triggers Rapid Police Response
The situation took a formal turn at precisely 12:40 AM during the night of Saturday and Sunday, when the Delhi Police control room received an urgent PCR call reporting a dispute at AIIMS Metro station. Recognizing the sensitivity of an incident involving transit security and a female commuter late at night, a police team was dispatched immediately. Officers arrived on the ground within minutes, took control of the premises, and intervened to restore order while gathering preliminary details from the individuals present.
Lack of Written Complaint Limits Immediate Legal Action
When the responding police officers spoke to the victim and inquired whether she wished to pursue official legal action against the CISF constable, the matter encountered a procedural hurdle. The female passenger explicitly declined to submit a formal written complaint against the personnel. In accordance with established legal procedures, law enforcement agencies require an official statement or written grievance from the complainant to initiate formal proceedings or file a First Information Report. Without a written complaint, the police were unable to take direct statutory action on site.
Departmental Inquiry and Review of CCTV Footage
Although the commuter opted not to register an official police case, safety and conduct inside Delhi Metro premises fall directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Industrial Security Force. Consequently, Delhi Police forwarded a comprehensive report detailing the entire sequence of events to senior CISF officials. Departmental authorities have initiated an internal inquiry to examine the constable's conduct. Senior CISF officers are currently analyzing high-definition CCTV surveillance footage retrieved from AIIMS Metro station and the surrounding train network to ascertain the exact circumstances that led to the scuffle and the subsequent emergency police call.
