FIR registered over government-critical posters in Delhi Metro Airport Express Line
· India · Times of India, NDTV
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation train operator Tarun Chaudhary spotted two black-and-white A4 posters questioning the government's performance while inspecting an Airport Express Line train on October 20. The posters, pasted on a seat, bore phrases such as "Voting Protest" and "Dissatisfied? You Are Not Alone", listed nine recent country claims, and carried a QR code linking to an online group. Chaudhary removed the material and alerted senior officers and the Operations Control Centre, who handed the posters to the station controller at Dwarka Sector 21. Police seized the posters on Friday, and the special cell has joined the investigation.
Why it matters
The incident highlights ongoing scrutiny of public expression spaces in Delhi, with police action triggering after a frontline DMRC employee reported the material; the investigation's outcome may set a precedent for how dissent is handled in public transport.
