Dedhia's fears to exit the railway station were evident when she spoke to her family members.

Dedhia, a Chartered Accountant, was on her way to Bombay Dyeing Mills Compound when she was stuck on the Parel-Elphinstone railway bridge towards the exit of Elphinstone railway station. Two medical students and a woman fished her out and was alive. The father, Nilesh Dedhia, was contacted by the students and they rushed her to KEM hospital.
