According to reports, the incident took place at the Kalyan railway station in Mumbai. It was not just the man who jumped off the train, his son tried to jump as well. However, he was saved by the two personnel. The police personnel reacted spontaneously and saved the father and the son from what could have been a major disaster.
Netizens took over the comment section to appreciate the efforts of the two officers. While few people termed it as ‘selfless’ others said that it was extremely careless of the father and the son to hop off like that and they should be fined for this. One comment also suggested that these two officers should be recommended for Gallantry award. However, netizens have also criticised other people who are just standing on the platform and did not offer help to the father son duo while they were about to hurt themself.
Bravo .....selfless but Duty is Duty ...well done brave heart...but there is message .." Never leave train with opposite position to moving direction..." Hence the fall was definite and 💯 Sure ...Be aware 👍🌎
