The event occurred around 7 pm on Saturday, when Singh leaped onto the tracks in front of a Samaipur Badli-bound train from platform number 2, as reported by the police officials citing news agency PTI.
The CCTV footage from the Metro station captured the heartbreaking moment when Singh took his own life by jumping in front of the Yellow Line Metro train. Prompted by a call reporting the incident, a team rushed to the scene from the police control room.
Singh’s identity was confirmed through a call made to his mobile phone, as informed by a senior police officer to PTI. His body has been moved to the mortuary for autopsy, and an investigation is currently underway to ascertain the circumstances leading to his decision.
