Speaking to ANI, Billore said, "The spot was around 2 km away from the railway gate. Ambulances couldn't reach the spot. We went by foot and found him critically injured. I had to save his life, so I carried him on my shoulders to a railway crossing over 1.5 km away. He was then taken to hospital."

An ambulance couldn't reach the spot to rescue the man, so the policeman took it on himself to run for more than a kilometre, with the bleeding man on his shoulders.

A senior police official said constable Poonam Billore's timely act saved the life of the severely-injured passenger.
