A 68-year-old man allegedly committed suicide on Thursday by jumping before a train at the Kashmere Gate metro station on the Red Line, officials said.

A senior police officer said the man has been identified as Sunil Gupta, a resident of Chawari Bazar.

The officer said that according to the victim's brother, Gupta was suffering from tuberculosis for the past few years and had already spent more than Rs 6 lakh on his treatment.

According to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), services on the Red Line -- which connects Rithala in Delhi to Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda) in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh -- were affected for a while.
