A woman had a narrow escape as she was pulled from in between a moving train and the platform in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

CCTV footage captured on February 16 shows two members of staff pulling the woman away from the train. Her husband was also able to help.

Luckily, the woman remained unscathed and later boarded the same train.

A woman rode her luck and cheated death as she was rescued, moments after she slipped and fell in the empty space between the platform and tracks while trying to board a moving train in northern India's Uttar Pradesh.

The incident, which was captured on CCTV cameras, took place at the Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station in the eponymous city of the state on February 16.

Visuals show a man and woman trying to board the moving train. The woman tries first to enter the compartment and slips. She falls in the empty space between the train and the platform, but timely intervention from her husband and two IRCTC staff save her. Seeing the struggling woman, the staff quickly pulls her out by grabbing her sweaters.

According to reports, the couple were advised against boarding the moving train by the two staff, which they chose to ignore. Even though she slipped, the woman was lucky to emerge unscathed and finally boarded the same train to depart towards the destination along with her husband.
