1 killed, 4 injured as portion of Gokulpuri Metro stn collapses

One man died and four people were injured after a section of the Gokulpuri Metro station in northeast Delhi collapsed onto commuters travelling along a busy thoroughfare on Thursday morning.

The police registered a case against the Metro contractors and builders under sections 337 (rash and negligent act) and 304A (causing death by negligence) (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code, while the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) suspended two officials for negligence, as the incident triggered outrage among residents and on social media.

The deceased man was identified as Vinod Kumar Pandey (53), a resident of nearby Karawal Nagar. The injured people were identified as three relatives - Ajit Kumar (21), a resident of Loni; Monu Kumar (19) and Sandeep Kumar (27) from Gokulpuri-and Mohammed Tazir (24), also from Loni.

The Metro station, which is on the Pink Line, between Majlis Park and Shiv Vihar, was built in 2018.
