RPF sub-inspector Vijay Solanki was on duty on platform number 5 when the incident took place. The Central railway (CR) appreciated the cop for his quick and brave act.
"The woman, headed to Bengaluru, was boarding Udayan Express when she lost balance and was about to fall into the gap as the train started moving. Solanki quickly pulled her to safety," an official told PTI.
There have been several incidents where the RPFs have saved the lives of commuters. In a heart-wrenching incident last year, in December, a RPF constable risked his life by jumping on the railway track to save a man from being run over by an approaching train at the Thane station in Maharashtra.
