A 35-year-old woman, who came under a metro train at Delhi’s Inderlok station, succumbed to her injuries on Saturday at Safdarjung Hospital. The tragic incident occurred on Thursday after her saree got stuck in the doors of the metro train.
The woman, identified as Reena, received serious injuries in the accident as she was dragged along a platform for about 25 metres. It is unclear whether she was getting off of the train or boarding it.
“An incident took place at Inderlok Metro Station on Thursday where prima facie it appears that a woman passenger’s clothes got entangled in a train leading to injuries and subsequent demise in hospital on Saturday,” Delhi Metro’s Chief Public Relations Officer Anuj Dayal was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
The Commissioner of the Metro Railway Safety will hold an inquiry into this incident, Dayal informed.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police have launched a probe into the incident and have taken action under section 174 of CrPC.
Woman admitted in Critical Condition
A relative of Reena, Vicky, informed that the woman was going to Mohan Nagar from Nangloi in west Delhi when she met with the accident.
“When she reached Inderlok Metro Station and was changing the train, her saree got stuck. She fell down and got seriously wounded. She was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital in a critical condition. On Saturday evening, she died,” he said.
Reena is survived by a son and a daughter. Her husband died around seven years ago, Vicky added.
