NYC Subway Couple Killed After Hugging and Kissing Before Track Fall
Investigators are reviewing video and toxicology results as authorities say the 24-year-old former Rutgers students were not believed to be in a double suicide.
- Early Sunday, Malaika Chitre and Navam Kaul, both 24, died after being struck by a subway train at the Spring Street station in Manhattan. The two former New Jersey residents had studied at Rutgers University.
- Chitre, of Dayton, worked as an operations specialist at Avadia Pharmaceuticals, while Kaul, of Sayreville, served as a data analyst at Bloomberg. Both were young professionals employed at major companies.
- A train operator reported she "saw a man and woman sitting on the tracks" as the train approached; video circulating online appears to show Chitre pulling Kaul toward her before impact.
- Approximately 100 passengers aboard the train were evacuated following the collision, which occurred just before 3:15 a.m. Authorities have not determined how the pair ended up on the tracks, though investigators do not believe the incident was a double suicide.
- Dory Devlin, assistant vice president at Rutgers, said the university is "saddened to learn of the tragic death of these two former students." Friends described the victims as successful young professionals who shared a close-knit South Asian community circle.
