Lakshmi experienced labour pains when the train was near Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh after which the husband informed on-duty Travelling Ticket Examiner(TTE) Shankar Kumar about it.


Kumar informed the control room and told them about the situation. He also asked for a team of doctors to be made available immediately. However, some women co-passengers helped Lakshmi in delivering the baby. Both the mother and the child are said to be fine. A lady doctor provided medicines to Lakshmi at Shahdol station in Madhya Pradesh where the train was halted for 30 minutes.
