While he was getting water on Platform No.1, the train began to depart, causing him to slip and fall. The timely intervention of the constable prevented a potential tragedy.
RPF Head Constable Ramesh Das swiftly rescued a man named Kambley who had slipped and fallen from the footboard while desperately trying to board a moving train at Vikarabad station.
Noticing the incident, Ramesh Das acted quickly and pulled Kambley onto the platform, saving his life.
