"Gutkhafication of Metro. Guess the state of origin of this criminal," wrote Chatterjee as he shared the image. The picture shows the stains all over the door of a metro, with also some litter lying on the ground. (Also Read: Condoms, gutkha, stones found in samosas supplied to Pune auto firm, case against 5)

Poor guys sat for 30 minutes more in the bus with mouthfuls of gutka."

A fifth added, "Fine them immediately."

"@mygovindia, please put up a fine or a hefty penalty or make the person clean it. High time to introduce community service in our life, some way to teach civic sense and respect of public property," posted a sixth.
