A woman who came under a metro at Delhi's Inderlok station succumbed to her injuries at Safdarjung Hospital on Saturday. The incident took place after her saree got stuck between the train's doors.
It is unclear whether the 35-year-old woman was boarding or deboarding the metro. The incident took place on Thursday, December 14 and the woman died two days later, on Saturday.
According to Vicky, a relative of the woman, she 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 and got seriously wounded. She was admitted to Safdarjung Hospital in critical condition. On Saturday evening, she died," he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
The woman's husband died around seven years ago. She is survived by a son and a daughter, Vicky said.
Delhi Metro’s Chief Public Relations Officer Anuj Dayal said, “An incident occurred at Inderlok Metro station on December 14, 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.”
The Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) will hold an enquiry into this incident, Dayal said.
