“A complaint regarding obscene behaviour by a male passenger was received on the DMRC official Twitter handle. DMRC, on its part, intimated the Ghitorni police station and also contacted the complainant assuring her of all cooperation,” it said.
An FIR was then filed at the Ghitorni police station. Further investigation is expected to be carried out.
