At around 8.15am, RPF Constable Hasan Patel who was deputed at the platform, saw this lady trying to catch moving ladies special train that came on Mumbra platform number 2.
The passenger failed to board and was left out partially hanging outside from the local train. The RPF was alert enough as he pulled her out - while he too lost balance in the process - as the train was gaining speed.
Sunil Udasi, Chief PRO, Central Railway confirmed the incident. The lady then was safely pulled onto the platform.
