On October 8, a 48-year-old man died following an alleged assault on a Delhi Metro train at the Supreme Court station. The FIR says a retired Indian Administrative Service officer and his son attacked him during a dispute over a senior-citizen seat.
Both the former officer and his son were taken into custody, according to the filing. The case highlights concerns about passenger safety and the enforcement of reserved seating rules on public transit.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal encounter, and the Metro corporation has been asked to review its seat-allocation protocols.
