- BMRCL suspended operations between Mysuru Road and Challaghatta and restored full Purple Line services by 9:40 a.m.
- Kengeri police and paramedical teams removed the body and opened an inquiry, stating there is no indication of foul play.
- Officers estimate the man was 35–40 years old and are trying to contact family using a phone found on him as conflicting media reports name him as Shantagoud Police Patil.
- The peak-hour stoppage crowded alternative BMTC bus routes and revived concerns about repeated suicides on the metro and the need for stronger safety and mental-health measures.
