In another such incident from Mumbai, an RPF constable had in February this year saved a seven-year-old boy from falling into the gap between the platform and the track at Naigaon railway station. The incident took place on platform number 2 of the station at around 9 pm. The boy was boarding a Churchgate-bound train along with his mother when the mishap happened. While boarding the train, the mother managed to get into the train's compartment, but the child was left hanging outside the gate. Constable Sunil Napa who was on duty at the platform rushed to the boy and pulled him away safely to the platform.
