  "account": "NEW DELHI: The Delhi Metro tragedy claimed the life of Pawan Sharma, leaving his family devastated. The incident occurred on October 8 when Pawan and his mother, Durga Sharma, were returning home after visiting Deepak, who was unwell in Gurgaon. Onboard, an argument erupted between Pawan and a father-son duo over seats reserved for senior citizens. According to the mother, the older man slapped Pawan when he objected to being asked to vacate his seat. The younger man then assaulted Pawan, causing him to become unconscious. Deepak, speaking from the hospital, alleged that his brother had been punched in the chest during the altercation. Pawan, a 45-year-old clerk and sole breadwinner, succumbed to his injuries upon arrival at LNJP Hospital. His family, consisting of his wife and two children, now faces financial turmoil following his untimely demise. The father-son duo responsible for the incident have been arrested and remanded to 14 days of judicial custody.",
