Old Man Was Jumping Off 7th Floor Of Metro Bhavan and Died

On Monday, March 25, in New Delhi, a body of a 33-year-old man has been found in the basement of the Metro Bhavan. Police said that the deceased was identified as Mahesh Prajapati who was an employee of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). The man was a native of Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi and was residing in Govindpuri area of Delhi.

Mahesh Prajapati was working as a maintenance fitter with the DMRC or Delhi Metro Rail Corporation since 2017. According to DCP Madhur Verma, Mahesh was suffering from depression for quite some time which was followed after a dispute and argument with his wife.

According to a DMRC spokesperson, Prajapati was found dead by a security guard in the basement of the Metro Bhavan near the stairs which connected all the floors of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation corporate office on Monday morning. No suicide note was found around the body. The police were immediately informed about the matter and thereafter the body was taken for postmortem. The matter is being further investigated as reportedly the crime team of the police has visited the suicide spot.

Apparently, the incident of Prajapati suiciding might have taken place on the evening of Friday, 22nd March, when the office was already closed or while it was closing for the weekend. The body was only noticed as well as reported when the office reopened on Monday morning. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is already taking up the matter with the security agency that is responsible for the security of the Metro Bhawan and questioning as to how they could not even detect that there was a body earlier and is ensuring that all the other areas are sanitized properly in the future.
