A vigilant cop came to the rescue of a man and saved his life who slipped and fell while trying to board a moving train in central India's Madhya Pradesh.

The incident happened at platform number two of Maihar station on December 17.

CCTV footage captured the chilling moment when the man, later identified as Buddhinath Dubey slipped and fell while trying to get on the 12150 Danapur Express. Dubey landed on the platform and was perilously close to the gap between it and the train when Bhaguram, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable rushed to his aid and pulled him to safety. Later, it was revealed that the 45-year-old Dubey was travelling from Mirzapur to Pune and had got down the train to get some water.
