"Delay in services from Yamuna Bank to Kirti Nagar due to a passenger on track at Mandi House. Normal service on all other lines," the DMRC tweeted. The metro services were resumed later.

Two incidents in two days

The incident comes a day after a 44-year-old man ended his life by jumping in front of a train at Haiderpur Badli Mor metro station after allegedly killing his two children.

No suicide note has been recovered, but police claimed that the man, Madhur Malani, was depressed since his sandpaper-manufacturing factory was closed some six months ago due to financial crunch leaving him jobless. Madhur’s parents had been supporting his family financially since then.
