559 votes

Yes, you can legally proceed if you want to take action. From the facts mentioned, pushing and slapping in a public place like a metro station may amount to offences such as: * Assault / use of criminal force * Voluntarily causing hurt * Intentional insult or provoking breach of peace (depending on facts) Since DMRC officials have already: * preserved/checked CCTV footage, * recorded details of the girls, * informed you that police action can be taken, your case already has important supporting evidence. What you should do: 1. Visit the concerned police station of the metro station area (Noida Sector 15 jurisdiction). 2. Give a written complaint mentioning: * date and time, * metro line/station, * exact incident, * names/details if available, * existence of CCTV footage and DMRC officials. 3. Request preservation and seizure of CCTV footage by police. 4. Keep copies/screenshots of: * complaint, * DMRC communication, * medical record (if any injury/pain occurred). Practical legal advice: * If the incident caused physical injury, humiliation, or serious public misconduct, proceeding legally is justified. * If it was a momentary altercation and you mainly want accountability/apology, you may first seek mediation through police before pushing for strict criminal proceedings. * Do not contact or threaten the girls directly. * Do not upload footage publicly on social media, as it may complicate the matter legally. Important: CCTV footage is often overwritten after some time, so if you intend to proceed, act quickly and ensure police formally request/preserve the footage. Suggested line for complaint: “Despite no provocation from my side, I was physically assaulted while deboarding the metro. The entire incident is captured in CCTV footage available with DMRC officials.”

In the given circumstances, you may proceed legally if you genuinely feel humiliated, threatened, or physically assaulted. Slapping and pushing in a public place like a metro station can amount to offences under Sections 115 and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (earlier Sections 323 and 352 IPC relating to assault and use of criminal force). Since the incident appears to be captured in CCTV footage and DMRC officials have already recorded the details of the girls involved, there is supporting evidence available, which strengthens your position. You may first submit a written complaint at the concerned police station or to the Metro Police, mentioning the date, time, station, sequence of events, witnesses, and requesting preservation of CCTV footage. However, before initiating criminal proceedings, you should also consider whether the incident arose merely out of sudden anger or whether it caused serious harm or public humiliation. If the matter can be peacefully resolved, that option may also be considered.

Yes, you should definitely proceed legally if you want to hold the individuals accountable. Here is a structured legal response draft you can use to answer the client on the platform: Recommended Legal Response Yes, you should definitely proceed with legal action if you want to hold the individuals accountable for their misconduct. Physically pushing and slapping someone in public constitutes a clear criminal offense under Indian law. Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 (which replaced the IPC), these actions attract specific criminal provisions: Section 115 (Voluntarily Causing Hurt): Applies to the physical act of slapping causing pain. Section 131 (Assault or Criminal Force): Applies to the act of pushing and using force without provocation. Since the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has already verified the incident on CCTV footage and recorded the details of the individuals, you possess highly credible and independent evidence. This makes your case legally strong. Steps to proceed: Visit the designated Metro Police Station or the local police station holding jurisdiction over Noida Sector 15. File a formal written complaint requesting the registration of an FIR (First Information Report). Mention in your complaint that DMRC officials have already recorded the accused persons' details and secured the CCTV footage. The police will officially request the footage and identification data from DMRC to proceed with the investigation. Taking this step ensures public safety and holds the aggressors accountable. If you need to tailor this response further, please let me know if you want to emphasize specific penalties, clarify jurisdiction details, or adjust the overall tone.
