A 50-year-old man died by suicide after jumping in front of a train at Yamuna Bank metro station, briefly disrupting services on the Blue Line, officials reported.
According to police, a suicide note recovered from the man’s possession indicated that he took the extreme step due to financial hardship and health issues. “On Thursday, we received a call from the metro station controller at Yamuna Bank, reporting that a man had jumped in front of a train. A police team was dispatched to the scene, and the man was taken to LBS Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead,” a senior police officer stated.
The man was identified as Naveen, a resident of the Gandhi Nagar area. The suicide note found in his pocket mentioned that no one had forced him to take this step, and he was struggling with health and financial problems, the officer added. Efforts are underway to contact the man’s family, and inquest proceedings have been initiated under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
