Mumbai viral video: RPF jawans save child, mother from going under train, hailed by Twitter users

Two jawans of the Crime Wing of the Railway Protection Force risked their own lives as they saved a woman and her child from being crushed by the Mumbai local train at Maharashtra's Mankhurd Railway Station.  Netizens have praised the jawans' selfless service to humanity. 

The video of the incident has gone viral. 

The video shows the woman trying to get on board the train. Amid the jostling, the train moved and the child dropped onto the platform. As the child began to be pulled under the train, one of the jawans showed his presence of mind and grabbed him. He then took him to safety. 

Within seconds, the video shows, her panicked mother also fell off the train that began to pull her in. Another jawan responded quickly and dragged her away. 

Clearly, the two jawans saved the lives of the mother-son duo.
