This isn't the first instance of apathy in the metro. In 2017, an elderly Muslim man was denied a seat in Delhi metro by a group of youth, who hurled slurs and abuses at him over his appearance.

The incident occurred when the young men turned down a senior citizen's request to vacate a seat and told him to go to Pakistan if he wishes to get a seat in the coach.

Kavita Krishnan, Secretary of the All India Progressive Women's Association, had described this incident in her Facebook post. "When the senior citizen asked them again, the young men told him, "This seat is for Hindustanis not for Pakistanis like you. If you want a seat go to Pakistan and get it there", she wrote.

According to the post, the National Secretary of AICCTU, Santosh Roy, intervened and came forward in support of the old man.

Finally, when a guard entered the compartment at the Khan Market station. A complaint was filed at the Pandara Road police station where they were taken.

A few days later, when Roy visited the police station he came to know that the elderly man had decided not to pursue the complaint.
