Passenger jumps onto track at Vijayanagar Metro station; Purple Line services briefly disrupted

Bengaluru Bengaluru Metro services on the Purple Line were briefly disrupted on Tuesday (November 10, 2026) after a passenger jumped onto the UPtrack at Vijayanagar Metro Station while a train was approaching the platform. According to the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), the incident occurred at approximately 1.31 p.m.

Station authorities immediately initiated emergency protocols, rescued the individual and shifted the passenger to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. To facilitate rescue and safety operations while minimising inconvenience to commuters, BMRCL operated truncated services on two unaffected sections of the Purple Line — between Kempegowda (Majestic) and Whitefield (Kadugodi), and between Mysore Road and Challaghatta, according to a release.

Normal train operations on the Purple Line resumed from 1.58 p.m., around 27 minutes after the incident. BMRCL clarified that services on the Green Line and Yellow Line remained unaffected throughout the incident.
