A tragic incident occurred at Seva Teerth (Udyog Bhawan) metro station in Delhi on Wednesday, resulting in the death of an unidentified man. According to police, the man, estimated to be around 30 years old, allegedly jumped in front of a moving metro train, causing disruption of services for some time. The incident was reported at 11.13 am, prompting the metro controller to halt train movement as a precaution.
The man was subsequently removed from the tracks and taken to Lady Hardinge Medical College and Hospital, where he was declared dead by doctors. CCTV footage revealed that the man had alighted from a train at the station at 11.08 am, only to jump onto the tracks about five minutes later. Despite the train operator’s attempts to stop the train, the man was hit before it could come to a halt.
The police are currently trying to establish the man’s identity, as no identification documents were found on him. Initial investigations have not revealed any evidence of foul play, according to the police.
