Similar incidents have happened in the past. In May 2019, a passenger had fallen off a moving train while trying to board it in Karnataka’s Hosapete. He was saved by an RPF official with the help of other people on the platform. Another incident occurred in March when Railway Protection Force officials, along with the Mumbai Railway Police, saved a man who had fallen while getting off a local train in Mumbai.
