The Central Railway's Railway Protection Force (RPF) has booked the girl who made headlines after being miraculously saved from falling off the local train. The girl in the video was identified by the RPF as a 17-year-old resident of Diva. The video, showing her standing on the footboard being hit by a high-speed train going in the opposite direction has gone viral.
She is seen falling momentarily from the train before being pulled up by fellow passengers in the incident that occurred between Ghatkopar and Vikhroli stations. Speaking to mid-day, Sachin Bhalode, senior divisional security commissioner, CR said, "We've booked her under section 156 of the Indian Railway Act. We also urge commuters not to travel near the door as it is dangerous to life." In her defence, the teenager said, "I was not at fault. If the Railways feel that was wrong, they should close the doors of local trains like the Metro."
