A man was seen on camera chilling with a glass of 'liquor' and a boiled egg inside a moving Delhi Metro train.
The police took note of it after the video went viral and a passenger complained to them.
In the video taken by a passenger, the man was seen taking three swigs of 'liquor', looking from side to side to check if he would be caught. He took a bite of the boiled egg between the swigs.
The Delhi Police posted the video on X and explained what action they have taken for 'drinking' in public, that too inside the metro.
"Eggs and alcohol in the metro? That's not breakfast - that's a breach. Break the rules, face the consequences. Rules aren't suggestions - they are the law," the police said in the post.
The accused is a resident of north Delhi's Burari.
"The accused person admitted his offence and a legal action was initiated against him u/s 59 of DMRC Act," the police said.
However, the man claimed he was drinking the apple juice Appy Fizz, and making a video of it.
"... In the video, I was seen eating an egg and drinking 'alcohol'. It was not daaru (alcohol) but Appy Fizz," the man said.
"I did the wrong thing. I request everyone not to do any such thing. Today I have to face the law because of what I did. I seek forgiveness," he said in the video posted by the police.

While it may have been Appy Fizz and he may have made the video for views on social media, the video made it look like he was drinking in public and encouraging it.
Delhi Metro has seen social media influencers do all sorts of antics for views. Commuters say they are a nuisance during rush hours.
India's air quality is far short of WHO standards and more than 40 per cent of its population still relies on biomass fuels, leading to deaths every year, an official from the United Nations body has said.
Let's explore how air pollution is harming your brain and what symptoms or consequences to watch out for.
Delhi will soon implement a policy banning fuel for petrol vehicles older than 15 years and 10 years for diesel vehicles.
Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 21.6 degrees Celsius on Monday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
Air pollution could be making rainfall more acidic in cities such as Vishakhapatnam, Allahabad, Mohanbari (Assam), while dust from the Thar could be making rain more alkaline in Jodhpur, Pune and Srinagar, according to an analysis.

Friday November 08, 2024हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
