On October 8, Durga and her son were returning home from visiting her younger son, Deepak, in Gurugram when an argument over a senior citizen's seat on the Delhi Metro escalated into a deadly assault. Sanjay Pratap Singh, a former IAS officer and his son are accused of beating Pawan to death after he refused to give up his seat. Durga described the horrific scene, stating that she witnessed her son being beaten and choked before collapsing to the ground. Despite her desperate attempts to intervene, no one came to his aid during the assault. Deepak, upon learning the news, rushed to LNJP Hospital only to find his brother had already been declared dead. Pawan's wife and daughter are now left to grapple with the shock of their loss, urging for justice against those responsible for their father's untimely demise.",
