While the first lands at a safer distance on the platform, the second falls precariously close to the train which has gathered speed. The railway police officer runs in and pulls her out of harm’s way in a swift athletic move.
The incident took place on the Santragachi-Anand Vihar Express at the Purulia station in West Bengal.
