“We were alighting from the train when the signal went green. Since the train was heavily crowded, my wife Ranu, who was holding Sahiba in arms got shoved off from unknown passenger and our daughter fell on tracks. Before we could raise alarm, four coaches of the train passed over her, but she survived without a scratch,” Sonu, father of the child was quoted by ToI.
“There was a sense of jubilation among passengers who chanted Radhey Krishna, everyone at the platform wanted to touch and kiss the girl,” said Asif Khan who rescued the girl.
