As someone who uses the Delhi Metro daily, this is terrifying. The security at metro stations needs immediate review. Hope they catch the culprits soon.

NSG deployment is good but we need better intelligence at ground level. Common people are the first line of defense - we should be more vigilant and report suspicious activities.
