Quick thinking and prompt action by a train driver saved the life of a man on the Kota-bina stretch of Atru-salpura railway line.
The train driver, whose name was not known, reversed the train for about a kilometre so that the injured passenger, who had fallen from the train, could be taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The incident took place on the Kota-bina stretch around 4pm on Friday when a 32-year-old man, Rajendra, who was mentally ill, jumped from the train and in order to save Verma, his brother Vinod also jumped from the train.
Giving information about the incident their cousin, Suresh Verma, who was also travelling with them in the train at the time of the incident, said, “My paternal cousin Rajendra Verma works with me in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh (mp) as a labourer. For last five days, his mental condition was not well. On April 24 night, Rajendra was going to Sikar district via Katni town of MP where his health condition deteriorated. So instead of going to Sikar, we (Suresh and his cousins) took train for Jaipur.”
