A major railway accident was narrowly averted at the Kishangarh railway station when a woman's foot got trapped between the platform and the footboard of the Jaipur-Udaipur train while she was attempting to get down. As soon as her foot became stuck, the train started moving forward, dragging her along the platform for a considerable distance. The woman's frantic screams created panic among the passengers present at the station. Amid this perilous situation, a railway protection force constable on duty displayed remarkable presence of mind and promptness to pull her to safety. Although the woman sustained serious injuries to her leg in the incident, a potential tragedy was averted. The entire harrowing sequence of events was recorded on the CCTV cameras installed at the station, and the footage has now come to light.
The incident unfolded when the Jaipur-Udaipur train arrived at the Kishangarh railway station and the woman was stepping down from her coach. Before she could maintain her balance, her foot got tightly wedged between the platform edge and the train step. The train began to roll forward before she could extricate herself, causing her to be dragged along the concrete platform. Seeing this dangerous situation, onlookers and passengers panicked, shouting for help. The woman kept crying out for assistance as people nearby attempted to intervene.
At that crucial moment, RPF constable Niranjan Lal, who was on duty at the station, spotted the woman being dragged along with the train. Without wasting a single second and understanding the gravity of the situation, he sprinted toward her. With the help of other passengers, he managed to pull the woman away from the moving train just in time. The constable's quick thinking and swift action saved her life, as even a slight delay could have pulled her under the wheels, resulting in a fatal disaster.
The injured woman was identified as Sonu Kumawat, a resident of Sargao Road Ward Number 52. Following the severe leg injuries she suffered in the accident, she was immediately rushed to a government hospital for medical treatment. After the incident, passengers present at the station showered high praise on RPF constable Niranjan Lal for his courage and alertness. The CCTV footage clearly captures the moment the woman was dragged and the prompt intervention by the constable that prevented a catastrophe.
