Kolkata Metro's Blue Line services faced significant disruptions during the evening rush hour on Tuesday as a man allegedly jumped onto the tracks in what appears to be a suicide attempt, according to official reports.

The unfortunate incident occurred at approximately 6.35 pm as a train was approaching the Masterda Surya Sen station at Bansdroni.
