‘Dissatisfied? You are not alone’: FIR lodged over posters questioning government found inside Delhi Metro train

An FIR has been registered against unidentified people after two posters questioning the government's performance were found pasted on a seat inside a Delhi Metro train on the Airport Express Line, police sources said.

The A4-sized black-and-white posters carried phrases such as "You Can Change Your Own Life", "Voting Protest", "Spectrum of Engagement", "Community Building Reform" and "Dissatisfied? You Are Not Alone". They also listed nine claims about changes in the country in recent years, the sources said.

The posters featured a QR code inviting people to join an online group. Police seized the posters, and the Special Cell is also involved in the investigation, the sources said.

According to the FIR, the incident came to light on October 20 when Tarun Chaudhary, a train operator with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) deployed on the Airport Express Line, was on duty.

Chaudhary left New Delhi station for Yashobhoomi station at around 6.50 pm, with the train reaching its destination at around 7.15 pm. During an inspection from inside the cabin, he noticed two posters pasted on a seat, the FIR stated.

He removed the posters and informed his senior officers and the Operations Control Centre. He was subsequently directed to hand them over to the station controller at Dwarka Sector 21, who informed the police.

Efforts are underway to identify the person who pasted the posters inside the train, the sources said.
