GRP personnel Veerabhai Meru risked his life to save the elderly passenger
The courage and sense of duty of a Railway security guard saved an elderly man from being crushed by a train at Vapi station in Gujarat on Tuesday. The daring act was captured by a CCTV camera at the station.
The footage shows several people crossing tracks to go from one platform to the other -- a foolhardy and very common practice across the country. One person is seen struggling to get on the platform, and a Government Railway Police (GRP) guard helps him.
At this point, an elderly man can be spotted crossing the tracks as the Surat-Bandra Terminus Intercity train is entering the station around 6 pm. As the train approaches, the elderly man trips and falls between the tracks.
