The RPF constable, reacting quickly, pulls her back on to the platform, saving her life.

At the end of the video, she was seen getting up and slowly walking away with the help of others.

Such incidents are being frequently reported from many parts of the country. Last month, a video had surfaced where an RPF constable rescued a man at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) in Mumbai’s Kurla, who slipped while trying to board a moving train.
