Cuttack: A constable of Railway Protection Force (RPF) saved the life of a woman passenger from being crushed under the wheels of a train at Cuttack Railway Station.

According to available information, woman passenger Anita Ray (54) slipped and fell into a gap between the Bhadrak-Bhubaneswar passenger train and platform while attempting to board the train hurriedly.

Noticing this, on-duty RPF constable AK Sahoo swung into action and pulled out the woman by tilting her towards the platform. One of the train passengers also pulled the chain and brought the train to a halt.
