In a remarkable display of bravery and quick thinking, a Railway Protection Force (RPF) cop saved the life of a passenger attempting to board a moving train at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) in Mumbai, the officials said Thursday.
According to the officials, the incident took place on Tuesday morning at around 11:40 am on platform number 4 of the LTT which was captured on the station's CCTV camera.
They said that the passenger, identified as Santosh Saharaj Yadav, 45, from Darbhanga District, Bihar, was attempting to board the Pawan Express train when he slipped and began to fall into the dangerous gap between the train and the platform. As chaos unfolded, RPF Constable Ramsharan, who was on duty nearby, quickly noticed the perilous situation and without any hesitation, Ramsharan rushed forward and pulled Yadav back onto the platform just moments before he could have been dragged under the moving train.
