According to reports, the man jumped from the tin shed on the platform and came into contact with an overhead high-tension electrical wire, which caused a fire. The blaze led to his death on the spot. The incident occurred around 10 pm when the train, travelling from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Vasco da Gama, reached Platform 1. The incident caused a 45-minute halt to train operations, creating significant panic among passengers. The Railway Police (GRP) successfully retrieved the body after deactivating the overhead electrical line and sent it for a post-mortem examination.

Railway Police Circle Officer Naeem Mansuri confirmed that the victim remains unidentified but appears to be aged between 40 and 45 years. An investigation is underway to determine his identity, as efforts continue to gather further details.
