Man caught masturbating, ejaculating on minor girl In Delhi Metro: NDTV

An Indian man reportedly masturbated and ejaculated on a minor girl travelling in the Delhi Metro train, NDTV has reported. According to officials, he has been handed over to the police.

The incident took place on Wednesday around 8:30 pm on the Red Line of the Delhi Metro. The officials told Press Trust of India that at the time, the train was crowded because of Rakshabandhan festivities.

The mother of the minor girl saw that the man had ejaculated on her daughter and immediately got down at the Seelampur metro station.

The man was from West Bengal. Two passengers who witnessed the incident held him down and took him to Delhi Metro authorities at the Shahdara station, reported Press Trust of India.

The station authorities later informed the police.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said in a statement that such incidents are “extremely unsavoury and against the dignity of passengers and all societal norms”.

“In this particular case, we appreciate the response of the fellow passengers who brought it to the attention of the DMRC staff. Taking prompt action, the DMRC personnel handed over the accused to the police and an FIR has been registered for further necessary action.

“We would yet again request our commuters to behave responsibly while travelling by the Metro and help in creating a congenial travelling environment where all passengers irrespective of age or gender can travel safely and comfortably,” it said.

The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) also issued a notice to the deputy commissioner of police (Metro), urging for action to be taken by September 5.

The panel has also sought details of the arrested culprit and steps taken to prevent such incidents in future, reports NDTV.
