On July 6, a man attempted to commit suicide at the Mumbai Central Railway Station by sitting on the railway track in the path of a train about to arrive. An officer of the Maharashtra Security Force – later joined by another – spotted him when commuters began shouting in alarm, and whisked him away to safety.
A video of the incident was posted by Western Railway on Twitter. The two security officials were identified as Manoj and Abhishek. They were deployed with the Railway Protection Force.
