Spine-Chilling Video Shows RPF Jawan Risking His Life To Save Passenger Crossing Railway Tracks
An RPF jawan saved a man in the nick of the time when the latter decided to cross the tracks and jump onto the parallel platform at Nampally railway station. After the quick rescue people started slamming the man for his careless stunt some even said that he deserved to be punished for the act. The Ministry of Railways cautioned people against getting in or out of a moving train.
Despite repeated warnings, some passengers don¡¯t seem to give two hoots about safety guidelines at railway stations. Time and again we hear of people boarding a running train, standing dangerously close to an approaching train or crossing railway tracks without a care in the world.
Thankfully, there are Railway Protection officials who are
always on the lookout for such people who attempt these ridiculous stunts at the cost of
their lives.

As can be seen in the video, the moment the man jumps up on the platform is when the train stops at the platform. A second here and there and the result could've been devastating.
