It was a miraculous escape for an elderly man who was trying to re-board a train at the Prayagraj railway station in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday.
The man, identified as Sajjan Singh, had deboarded the train, which was going to Bikaner from Guwahati, to buy lunch at the platform.
Mr Singh, a resident of Jaipur, then saw that his train was leaving the station and quickly rushed towards his coach.
The 63-year-old, however, slipped while attempting to board the moving train and almost fell into the gap between the platform and the train.
He was then saved by Sanjay Kumar Rawat, a Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, who was standing on the same platform.
Mr Rawat saw that Mr Singh had lost his balance and was trying to grab the handle of the coach. Within a few seconds, he can be seen racing towards the elderly passenger and whisking him away.
The whole incident was caught on the CCTV and was shared by the Indian Railways on X.
While some X users "saluted" Mr Rawat for displaying indomitable courage, others thanked him for "saving the precious life of a traveller".
