Delhi Police have identified five persons including two minors, for allegedly beating a passenger to death at Shahdara railway station, officers said on Sunday (June 21, 2026). The incident occurred when Pankaj Dhama, a resident of Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh, was trying to board the Yoga Express from Platform 3 of the station. Following an argument over boarding the train, he was allegedly assaulted by fellow passengers. A video of the incident, which surfaced on social media, showed Dhama being dragged on to the platform by a Railway Protection Force officer. Police said he was taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. Based on video footage, police identified five suspects, including two minors. The three adults — Sagar, Prince and Akash, all 18-year-old residents of Vishwas Nagar in Shahdara — were allegedly seen punching and kicking Dhama. “One of them also struck the victim with an iron kada (bracelet),” said a senior police officer. The police has registered an FIR against the accused under Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Old Delhi Railway police station, and formed teams to track them.
