The incident took place on October 8 at the Supreme Court Metro station, where the deceased, Pawan Sharma, allegedly got into an altercation with the two accused, identified as Sanjay Pratap Singh and his son Sidharth Singh, according to the FIR
Delhi Metro will remain shut at six stations on Monday, 12 October, from 6 AM to 4 PM due to security concerns over planned protests. These stations include Janpath, Mandi House, Barakhamba Road, Central Secretariat, Rajiv Chowk, and Patel Chowk. Passengers can still transfer between trains at these interchange facilities. Security agencies will assess the situation and DMRC will update the public accordingly.
The Supreme Court had earlier directed metro and railway services to operate normally while allowing reasonable restrictions for public order. The court emphasized that security measures cannot completely halt public transport, which affects millions of residents.
