Police said, the main accused, identified as Pawan Kumar was a token counter operator at the same station till December 2015. The attack on the Station controller Kunal Kishore, was reportedly motivated over Kumar having a fight with him over the duty shift assigned to him in December.

Kumar and his friend were tracked down with the help of their Metro cards. Footage from the stations helped identify them, said police.

Police also recovered Rs 10.55 lakh cash, a mobile bought with part of the robbed money and the knife they used to attack Kishore.

Kumar who worked at the metro station hid the knife inside his socks knowing well that the CISF staff generally searched only the upper body of passengers, Hindustan Times reported.

Police said even though revenge for losing his job was in Kumar's mind, the main motive behind the attack was money, as he wanted money to pay loans his father had taken during his sister’s wedding in 2014.

Working in the same station since 2013, Kumar knew the security lapses in the station and that on Monday's the station controller had a huge amount of cash collected from token sales, police said.
