The Delhi Metro is a well-known example of one of the biggest and most well-connected metro train networks in the world. It connects different parts of the National Capital Area and is an essential part of the city’s public transportation system.
Millions of people use the metro every day, taking advantage of its quick, secure, and hassle-free transit options. In spite of this, the Delhi Metro has a reputation for hosting odd occurrences, including the arrival of strange and eccentric people.
