A 26-year-old woman jumped on a Metro track on Saturday but escaped unhurt as the driver of a train coming in stopped it well before reaching her, police said. The woman however claimed she fell.
Kirti, a resident of Madipur in west Delhi, did not suffer any injury after falling on the track at Madipur metro station at 11.40 p.m. as the alert train driver immediately applied brakes and avoided hitting her.
Kirti, who had fainted, was taken to the nearby Achary Bikshu hospital from where she was discharged after preliminary examination.
In her statement to the police, she said she did not remember how she fell on to the tracks. But police claimed she jumped on the track, adding she was depressed at being childless even after six years of marriage.
