New Delhi: A 21-year-old woman was stopped by a CISF official when she was attempting to commit suicide at a Delhi Metro station here on Tuesday, a senior official said.

He said the incident took place around 7:30 PM at the Inderlok station when CISF Assistant sub-inspector Umesh Panday noticed a woman climbing to the foot-over bridge linked to the station in order to leap towards the road below.
