Delhi Man Dies After Being Hit By Train Inside Rajiv Chowk Metro Station.

The folly of not adhering to the constant exhortations at Delhi Metro stations to "stand behind the yellow line" had tragic consequences for Amit Talwar. The 34-year-old, impatiently waiting for a train, was a little too close to the track and was hit by a train at Rajiv Chowk station during rush hour. Witnesses say that Talwar was thrown about 15 feet away and hit one of the metal barricades installed to keep commuters away from the track.

Talwar, a resident of Saket, was taken to Lady Hardinge Medical College by the Central Industrial Security Force and metro staff, but he had succumbed to his injuries by the time he reached the hospital.
