The clip shows a girl running to board the train but she falls down as she attempts to get inside as the train has picked up speed. Within a split second, the RPF officer gets hold of the girl and pulls her away to safety as the train speeds by.
RPF India identified the officer as head constable Satheesh.
Although Indian Railways have been constantly warning people not to board or disembark from moving trains as it is dangerous, incidents like this keep happening.
