FIR against metro staff after elderly man collapses inside train, dies
Police have booked BMRCL staff for causing death by negligence after an elderly man collapsed inside a metro train and died a few hours later.
The son of the deceased man is Muthuraj T, an inspector at the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).
In a complaint at the Baiyappanahalli police station, Muthuraj said his father, Thimmegowda (67), died because the staff of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) failed to arrange timely medical assistance for him.
On July 20, around 9 pm, Thimmegowda boarded the metro at Baiyappanahalli to travel to Kengeri. He planned to take a bus to Chamarajanagar, his home district.
