Railway police constable's timely intervention saves life of 44-year-old passenger
Bhubaneswar (By Abhishek Mohanty): A 44-year-old man was saved from the wheels of a moving train after he was rescued by an alert railway constable at Cuttack railway station on Thursday.
Constable Tulu Behera demonstrated extraordinary bravery and quick thinking at Cuttack Railway Station by saving the life of Md. Mujahir, a 44-year-old passenger from Mirjapur, Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal.
As Md. Mujahir attempted to board the moving Train No. 22503 (Kanyakumari–Dibrugarh Express) bound for Kishanganj, he slipped from the train’s steps and came perilously close to being crushed between the platform edge and the train’s wheels. In a heart-stopping moment, Constable Behera’s swift and courageous intervention saved his life.
With remarkable presence of mind, he grabbed Md. Mujahir’s hands and pulled him out of the deadly gap, rescuing him from near-certain death.
Y.B. Khurania, DGP, Odisha, has announced a reward of Rs 2,500 for Constable Behera.
Arun Bothra, ADG, Coastal Security and Railways, spoke to Constable Behera and complimented him on his courage and presence of mind.
