The Andheri police are currently searching for the individuals responsible for pasting posters advertising “Get-Instant-Loan” inside Metro-1 coaches and attempting to deface the train. Metro officials discovered these posters in three different trains, all promoting loan offers. They informed the police that these posters were prohibited in Metro trains and on their premises, as they were affixed to the safety advisory board intended for passenger safety inside the trains.
The complainant in this case, Vivek Koli, 43, a security guard on the Metro-1 line, found these posters on December 17 in train no. 1002, 1005 and 1012. Koli conducts a thorough check of the entire Metro train after all passengers disembark, as part of a routine procedure that is conducted in three different shifts.
