Was there an attempt to suppress the video showing Vangani rail hero’s deeds? Questions have been raised on why the video is a mobile recording of the CCTV camera footage and not the original footage itself. Sources said that the custodians of the CCTV footage at Vangani station allegedly did not cooperate with Mayur Shelke and his colleagues when he requested them to report the instance of bravery to the headquarters, like all other good deeds.
On April 17 evening, Shelke, a pointsman with the railways, saved six-year-old Sahil Shirsat from an express train hurtling towards them after the boy fell on the tracks. The whole rescue took place within 13 seconds.
