Passenger Narrowly Escapes Death While Boarding Train Due To Cop's Valiant Effort
A passenger narrowly escaped death after he slipped on platform as he attempted to board the train in Mumbai's Lokmanya Tilak Terminus.
A vigilant watch and bravery of an RPF constable of the Central Railway saved the life of a passenger who slipped onto the corner of the platform while attempting to board a moving train at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus in Mumbai. The official's act was captured on CCTV.
The heart-stopping incident took place on May 30, as DN LTT-Kochuveli Garib Rath Express (12201) was departing from Platform Number 4.
In the video, the passenger was seen rushing to board the train after it was already in motion.
The man slipped as he lost his balance and fell into the gap between the train and the platform. The constable, who was already on the platform, vigilant and active, pulled him back to safety and averted a major mishap.
The personnel was identified as Shri Ram Narayan Singh, who works at the Mumbai Division of Central Railway.
The railway officials later said that the passenger had revealed he was in a hurry due to a family emergency. Due to his state of distress, he was counselled and helped in his onward journey with safety.
Narayan Singh was praised for his alertness, bravery, and strong sense of duty. His heroic actions earned him the title of 'Jeevan Rakshak", meaning life-saver.

Police rescue baby hours after father sells her away for ₹5,000 to a couple
In a shocking incident, a three-year-old baby girl, Sravani, was allegedly sold away by her father, who later reportedly played a kidnap drama. However, swift action by the railway police helped save the baby within a few hours, and restore her to her mother. The accused, Saikam Mastan of Vetapalem village, Bapatla district, reportedly sold away the baby for ₹5,000 to a live-in couple Bolla Srinivasulu of Vemavaram village, Prakasam district, and Sadela Chinnari of Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) district on Thursday night at the Vijayawada railway station. Srinivasulu is a buttermilk vendor in the railway station and his partner a beggar, according to the railway police. They were caught along with the baby while on their way to Rajahmundry. 'The accused planned to maim the baby and use her to seek alms. Police personnel rescued the baby in just a few hours after the sale and safely handed her over to her mother,'' said Government Railway Police (GRP) Circle Inspector J.V. Ramana, at a press conference here on Friday. ''All the three accused were arrested,'' Railway Protection Force (RPF) inspector Ali Baig said. After selling away the baby Mastan consumed liquor and bought clothes with the money. At 10.30 p.m., he lodged a complaint with the GRP station, alleging that some miscreants had kidnapped his daughter near the waiting hall. Immediately, the GRP and the RPF personnel formed special teams and verified the CCTV footages in the railway station. 'We noticed that the accused took the baby to Pandit Nehru Bus Station (PNBS), from where they boarded a bus to Rajahmundry. Police alerted the bus driver, Yerramsetti Vara Prasad, who confirmed that the couple was travelling in the bus with the baby,' said Mr. Ramana. The police teams alerted the Rajahmundry GRP CI, P. Srinivas, who intercepted the bus on the outskirts and took the accused into custody. When the GRP officers contacted the baby's mother, S. Venkateswaramma, she alleged that her husband had forcibly taken away the baby two days ago, and that they were searching for them. 'During questioning, Mastan confessed to have taken ₹5,000 from the other two accused. A sum of ₹1,850 has been seized from him,' Mr. Ali Baig said. A case under Section 143 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (human trafficking), and Section 81 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, has been registered against the accused, Mr. Ramana said, adding that the accused would be produced in a court.
