A 40-year-old labourer died after he got crushed between an approaching metro train and the platform at a Gurugram station on Saturday, the police said.
Bhura Singh was a resident of a village in Kanpur district of Uttar Pradesh and lived with his son Ashwin in Kasan village near Manesar. Bhura had returned from his village on Saturday.
“He boarded the metro from Delhi and got down at HUDA City Centre metro station on platform no. 1. Instead of using the stairs or the escalator and in a hurry to get out of the station, he tried crossing the tracks to reach platform no. 2,” said a police officer.
Became nervous
Just as he was about to jump on the other platform, he spotted a train approaching and became nervous.
“A woman on the platform tried to pull him up from the track but it was too late. He came in between the train and the platform, was dragged a few metres and died on the spot,” the officer said. The deceased was identified by his son.
