Deputy Commissioner of Police (Metro) Vikram Porwal said, "Today, six boys were found shouting slogans ‘Desh ke gaddaron ko goli maaro saalon ko’ at Rajiv Chowk metro station. We have detained them at Rajiv Chowk Metro Police Station and interrogation is being carried out”.
An advertising agency copywriter Vaibhav Saxena shot a video this morning at 10:35 am near the CCD outlet in the station where a group of saffron attired men started shouting slogans inside the metro station when a train was about to halt.
Later, another video surfaced showing a group of men walking around with the national flag and shouting the same slogan in the Connaught Place, where the Rajiv Chowk metro station is located.
After they got off from a train, they continued with the sloganeering. Some commuters also joined them in their sloganeering. Some were quick to get their cameras out to make videos.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) who is responsible for the security of the Delhi Metro, stopped the protesters and handed them over to the Delhi Police.
The CISF personnel said in a statement, "On February 29, at about 10:25 hours, six youths were seen shouting slogans at Rajiv Chowk metro station, Delhi. They were immediately intercepted by CISF personnel & thereafter handed over to Delhi Metro Rail Police officials for further action. Metro Rail operation remained”.
According to the Delhi Metro (Operation and Maintenance) Act 2002, any kind of demonstration or nuisance is prohibited in the metro premises. Any passenger indulging in such an act is liable to be removed from the Metro premises.
