However, CISF refuted the allegations and clarified that they are just the “monitoring agency”. “It seems that the uploaded video clips have been shot via mobile phones and not through CCTVs of Delhi Metro. An inquiry has been ordered. All the CCTV footage tapes are handled by Delhi Metro,” CISF spokesperson Hemendra Singh told IANS. According to a _Hindustan Times_ report , “More than 250 clips of couples on near-empty trains have been made into two- to eight-minute videos and uploaded on these sites, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) official told Hindustan Times requesting anonymity.” Apparently, several of the videos had been uploaded as early as 2011.
