The family of Sakshi Ahuja, a woman who killed herself by electrocution at the New Delhi Railway Station, demanded that those to blame be subjected to severe punishment. They also expressed serious worries about the station’s lack of amenities. The woman’s husband has also asked that her death not be “restricted to a piece of news”.
According to authorities, Sakshi Ahuja, 34, died on Sunday after coming into contact with a live wire at the station complex just minutes before she and her family were scheduled to board a train for Chandigarh. Ankit Ahuja, her husband, has accused the Indian Railways of incompetence and called for harsh punishment of the personnel involved in the errors that led to his death.
Officials have previously stated that it is the Indian Railways’ duty to maintain all electrical facilities on its property. “Making a commitment and following through on it are two different things. Only once corrective actions are initiated and carried out will we be able to believe the railroad officials, according to Ankit, an engineer employed by a Japanese company.

Anyone who is careless should be held blamed and booked in accordance with the law so that what happened to our family doesn’t happen to anyone else. A strict response should be given to the offending authority, he continued.
In addition, the victim’s father, Lokesh Kumar Chopra, declared that his daughter did not receive first help and that no ambulance, medical personnel, or police officers were present at the scene when the incident occurred. After 40 minutes, he added, the family was finally able to exit the station.
“The New Delhi Railway Station officials told us that action would be done, but we have not yet seen any action taken. Although we produce high-quality trains like the Vande Bharat, we have been unable to properly establish station infrastructure, and despite the great volume of passengers, there are no facilities.
Raghav, the victim’s 10-year-old son, remembered that his mother’s second leg became trapped in the mud on the wet street and her other leg became entangled in the live wire.
“I managed to save my sister Inaya who was attempting to grab the pole. We would have lost her as well if I hadn’t torn her apart, the child added.
Ahuja was heading towards the station while it was pouring when she lost her balance and, according to an initial investigation, she clutched a power pole to keep herself from falling. A senior police officer claimed that she touched some showing wires with her hands.
