A passenger travelling from Mumbai with his family suffered serious injuries after attempting to board a moving train at Vadodara railway station.
The injured man, identified as Suresh Underiya, had reportedly stepped onto the platform to buy cold drinks and curd for his daughters while the train was halted at the station.
Foot Slips as Train Begins Moving
According to railway officials, the train began departing unexpectedly while Underiya was still on the platform. Believing he still had time to reboard, he ran towards the moving train and attempted to climb aboard.
During the attempt, he reportedly slipped and became trapped between the train and the platform, suffering severe injuries to his leg.
Railway Staff Carry Out Rescue Operation
Railway personnel immediately launched a rescue operation and managed to pull him to safety.
The injured passenger was rushed to Vadodara's SSG Hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
Passenger Mistook Halt Duration
According to Underiya, he stepped off the train under the impression that it would remain at the station for around 30 minutes. However, the train departed within two minutes, leading to the accident.
Railway authorities have repeatedly advised passengers not to board or alight from moving trains and to avoid stepping away from coaches unless aware of the scheduled halt duration.
