Pawan Sharma, 48, died inside the Delhi Metro last week, beaten to death allegedly by a former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer and his son over something as trivial as a seat.
Sanjay Pratap Singh, a retired IAS officer, and his son, a lawyer, were arrested in the case.
The father-son duo boarded at the Mandi House station. They confronted Sharma, who was sitting with his mother, Durga Devi, in a seat reserved for senior citizens. She shared their ordeal with NDTV.
The incident took place on October 8 at 17:30.
Sharma’s mother, Durga Devi, said that the former officer’s son choked Pawan with one hand and punched him in the chest with the other, resulting in her son’s death.
Who Is The Accused Former IAS Officer?
Sanjay Pratap Singh, a retired IAS officer, and his son, a lawyer, were arrested in the case. Both father and son have been sent to fourteen-day judicial custody. During his three decades of service in the IAS, he held key administrative positions in Delhi and other Union Territories, working extensively in departments related to welfare administration and governance.
