Mumbai: For the second time in two months, a young woman with the power of railroad protection (RPF) came to save a passenger who was at risk after falling from the local train.
Portable Sapna Golkar, 25, sat on a bench when he saw a commuter, Rashida Khan, lost his balance and was dragged by the train on Sunday.
Golkar immediately ran towards Khan and pulled him away before he could get seriously injured.
Golkar, who was recruited only this year, and he saved the Eagle Eye on a female compartment when patrolling.
“Some travelers are inexperienced and maybe trying to get into the moving train,” he said.
This is what happened at byculla station around 8pm on Monday.
Khan and his acquaintance tried to go up to the local badlapur as it began to move.
“Khan came to the byculla to meet the relatively sick who had been hospitalized.
His inversion made it into the coach but Khan slipped and dragged by the train,” said an officer.
Golkar and a male passenger rushed towards him and pulled him to a safe place.
Exactly one month before this incident, Golkar had patrolled the Sandhurst street station when another woman’s commuter tried to get into the local Badlapur just when starting to move around 14:00.
“I instinctively ran towards women’s tourists before he lost the footing and fell.
Seconds after I pulled him to a safe place, the train stopped and other tourists gathered to find out if he was injured.
He did not have a big injury,” Golkar said.
Reacting to all the praise he got, the police said he only did his job.
“It was my dream to wear a uniform because there was no one in my family who worked with the police or paramilitary forces,” he said.
