RPF constable pulls 69-year-old passenger to safety after he was dragged by train at Guindy

An alert Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable rescued a 69-year-old passenger, who was dragged by a train after falling into the gap between the train and the platform, at Guindy railway station on Thursday evening.

The incident occurred around 5.30 p.m. when a Villupuram-Chennai Beach train started departing from Platform 1.

The passenger, Mohammed Elias, reportedly lost his footing while attempting to board the train and fell into the gap. He was dragged for nearly 50 metres as the train moved.

Constable Narayan Singh of Mambalam RPF, who was deployed at the Guindy station, noticed the passenger and immediately alerted the railway staff. Once the train was stopped, the constable pulled Elias to safety.
