A 25-year-old committed suicide on Sunday morning by jumping in front of a metro train at Sakinaka Metro Station. The incident disrupted the metro rail services on that day.

"At around 9.20 am on Sunday, a youth who appeared to be around 25 years of age jumped in front of a Versova-Ghatkopar (towards Ghatkopar) train that was coming in at Sakinaka Metro Station. The station staff immediately informed the Sakinaka police, who have taken the body for identification and post-mortem," said a Mumbai metro spokesperson.
