Man Arrested After Drinking, Eating Inside Delhi Metro Goes Viral: ‘Not Breakfast, That’s A Breach’
In a bizarre twist of breakfast-on-the-go, a man found himself in hot water after a video of him sipping a drink and peeling boiled eggs inside a moving Delhi Metro coach went viral. What seemed like a casual snack break quickly turned into a public outrage fest online—and a police case.
The clip showed the man, dressed in a brown t-shirt and beige pants, peeling a boiled egg using the train’s handrail—yes, the one people hold for balance—and washing it down with a drink. Netizens assumed it was alcohol, and reactions ranged from disgust to dark humor. One user quipped, “Now this is next-level meal planning,” while another demanded, “DMRC should give him a lifetime ban.”
The drama unfolded at the Yamuna Bank Metro Depot, where officials received a formal complaint after the clip exploded on social media. The Delhi Metro authorities immediately flagged the issue to the police. Soon, the man was traced to Burari and apprehended.
During questioning, he owned up to his snack antics but denied the alcohol claims, insisting he was sipping on Appy Fizz, not booze. Still, authorities weren’t amused. His actions breached metro rules, and he now faces action under Section 59 of the DMRC Act.
The Delhi Police even posted a cheeky update on their official X account with a video of the man in custody, captioned: “Eggs & ‘Alcohol’ in the Metro? That’s not breakfast - that’s a Breach!! Break the rules, Face the consequences, Rules aren’t suggestions: They’re the law.”
Just a reminder: the DMRC strictly forbids eating or drinking in metro coaches. So maybe save your snack cravings for after the ride—no matter how well you meal prep.
