New York: A woman accused of shoving an immigrant from India to his death from a New York City subway platform is expected in court.

Authorities were called to her home several times in the past five years because she had not been taking prescribed medications and had been difficult to deal with. Sen was standing on a platform in Queens on his way home when he was pushed to his death as the train entered the station. AP
