In a shocking incident, on Tuesday morning a 24-year-old woman allegedly jumped on the tracks at Dwarka Mor Metro station to fetch a Rs 2000 note which had fallen there, leading to brief disruption of services on the Delhi Metro’s Blue Line.
The woman who hails from Jharoda Kalan, was rescued and taken to a hospital and made to write a written apology by the CISF for creating disruption of services on the Delhi Metro’s Blue Line, officials said. The incident took place around 10:40 am. A senior police officer told news agency PTI that she “jumped on the tracks to fetch her money which had fallen on the tracks”. The officials have said that two coaches of an approaching Metro passed over her as she lay still between the tracks.
A senior CISF officer told the Hindustan Times, “As told by witnesses, the woman passenger, later identified as Chetna Sharma, got down on tracks. When she looked at the Metro train approaching her, she lay wedged between the tracks to save herself. As the public raised the alarm, the driver of the train stopped the train and the shift in-charge of the CISF and station controller also rushed to the spot.”
Services of the Blue Line metro were briefly affected due to the incident and soon restored to normal, he added. The Blue Line connects Dwarka Sector 21 in Delhi to Noida Electronic City.
