An inquiry into the train disruption on Metro Yellow Line 2 on August 7 has revealed that a passenger tried to open the platform screen doors at Dahisar East station, setting off an alarm and detaining trains on both up and down trains. A CCTV camera recorded the person in the act.

“The incident happened at 6.24 am when a passenger was seen pulling apart the platform screen doors at Dahisar East station. As he kept trying to do so, the alarm on the doors was triggered which automatically stopped all trains entering the station, leading to detention of trains on both up and down lines,” said a senior official from the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited.
