Watch: Man Slips Trying To Board Moving Train In Uttarakhand, Alert Cop Saves Him

Quick thinking and bravery saved a passenger’s life at Laksar railway station in Uttarakhand. A video circulating online shows a dramatic scene where a passenger attempting to board the moving Kolkata-Jammu Tawi Express loses his balance and falls into the gap between the train and the platform.

The incident, captured on CCTV on Sunday, April 24, highlights the heroic actions of GRP constable Uma.  Uma reacted swiftly, reaching out and grabbing the passenger’s hands, preventing a potential tragedy.

The video shows a man running to catch a moving train. However, his hands were already full of food and other items, and therefore, he struggled to grasp the train’s handle, causing him to lose his balance and fall into the gap between the train and the platform. Constable Uma saved the man by grabbing both his hands. Fortunately, the passenger did not suffer any serious injuries.

Posting the video on X, Uttarakhand Police wrote, “At Laksar railway station, a passenger of Calcutta-Jammu Tawi Express started boarding the moving train after taking food items from the railway station.
