NEW DELHI: A 55-year-old man was crushed to death at Janakpuri West Metro station on Wednesday after he slipped and fell on the train tracks.

Officials said the incident took place at 10.40am when the victim, Narender Singh, fell on the track as a train was approaching the station.

"No suicide note was found and after reviewing CCTV footage, it appeared to be an accident," a police official said. Singh was rushed to the hospital, but was declared brought dead.

Metro officials confirmed that train services were affected for some time on the line leading towards Yamuna Bank.
