A woman today died at the New Delhi railway station after getting electrocuted amid waterlogging due to incessant rains in the national capital since last night.

Sakshi Ahuja, a resident of Preet Vihar in East Delhi, reached the railway station around 5:30 in the morning along with two women and three children. She held on to an electric pole to avoid puddles when she suffered a massive jolt of power, causing her death.
