Central Railway RPF has been preventing accidents involving passengers attempting to board or alight from moving trains. In one such incident on December 26, 2025, Assistant Sub-Inspector Narsingh Kanaujia noticed a woman passenger trying to board a slow local train that had already started moving. The passenger slipped into the gap between the platform and the train, following which Kanaujia immediately rushed forward and pulled her to safety, averting a potentially fatal accident. The passenger was later counselled and guided to continue her journey safely.
