Deputy Commissioner of Police (Railways) Parvez Ahmed said the call was received around 4.30 p.m. that a man was found dead and there was a child next to the body.

“ Investigations revealed the identity of the man as Nand Ram Meena, a constable posted with Sarojini Nagar police station. The child was identified as his son,” said Mr. Ahmed.

No suicide note or eyewitness who could recount the sequence was found at the spot or has come forward so far.
