Police said Amarjeet, a resident of the Shamshan Ghat slum cluster in east Delhi's Geeta Colony, lost his balance and fell off a packed boarding platform at seven a.m. when the Seemanchal Express arrived at the station.

"There was a lot of rush to board the train, which had halted at platform number one at the Anand Vihar Railway Station. Amarjeet lost his balance in a bid to find his way to the general compartment and fell," said a senior police officer.

He was rushed to an adjacent government hospital where he was pronounced dead by doctors, police said.
