This, however, is not the first time when an RPF’s constable quick-thinking saved a man’s life. Earlier, an RPF constable’s timely intervention saved a man’s life at Purba Medinipur railway station.
A CCTV footage of the incident was shared by RPF on X. It shows a man standing on the platform. As the video goes on, he gets down on the track and quickly lies down. Constable K Sumathi, who was on the other platform, notices him. Soon, she rushes and pulls the man away from the track just moments before a speeding train whizzed by. Towards the end, two other individuals promptly joined forces to assist her in the rescue effort.
