CISF jawan nabs ‘suspicious’ man in escalator-stairs chase at Delhi Metro station

The Central Industrial Security Force, or CISF, said it detained a man at a railway station following a chase that moved between an escalator and a set of stairs. According to the force, the man behaved in a suspicious manner during the incident. The available report did not identify him or specify the station, and the circumstances that first drew the attention of security personnel were not detailed.

CISF officers later recovered an unidentified semi-solid substance from a stitched portion of the man’s undergarment, which was kept in his bag. The force said the material was suspected to be gold but added that it had not been conclusively identified. No quantity, estimated value or formal test result was disclosed in the information reviewed for this report.

The case matters to station users because large transport hubs are shared by passengers, railway staff, vendors and security personnel. A suspicious person and concealed material can prompt a coordinated response, particularly in crowded areas where officers must move quickly while keeping the public safe. The identification of the substance and the reasons for the man’s detention were the main points to watch.
