The incident also affected the Metro frequency on the corridor.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation confirmed the incident.
The train doors sensors are sensitive if any object comes in its range. It could have been the case here too. Some object may have come into the range of the sensors,so they did not close, the official said.
According to officials,the Metro delay was quickly corrected and service resumed on the corridor.
The Metro had halted at Jor Bagh for around 5 to 6 minutes. A slight delay could have surfaced,but it was quickly overcome and did not affect the peak hour travel, an official said.
