The doctors claimed that the incident has left her shaken. The Sanpada resident, who works at a supermarket at Juinagar, was commuting to her home from Thane, when, around 5 pm, she decided to get off the train at Rabale station to finish some pending work. “I tried to alight from the moving train while it was entering the station and lost my balance. Another reason for my fall could be that I was wearing heels, because of which I believe I slipped, and got stuck between the train and the platform.u00a0
Everything happened so suddenly that it took me a while to register what had gone wrong,” the victim said, requesting that her identity not be revealed. She remained stuck in the gap until the train moved out of the station, her legs dangling down to the tracks and torso hugging the edge of the platform. “My waist hurts badly and I am unable to move it. I’m also finding it difficult to stand.” The victim thanked all those who rushed to her aid and pulled her out to safety. She was rushed to the hospital, where she is currently recuperating in the trauma ward.
Dr Prashant Jawade, medical superintendent of NMMC Hospital, said, “Train accidents affect the victim mentally as well, more so if the person has managed to escape the catastrophe. We will be screening her spine to check for injuries, if any. But presently, she is out of danger.”
In her statement to the Vashi GRP officials, the girl mentioned that she was standing near the door and was feeling a bit giddy as well. Senior Inspector Parshuram Karyakarte of Vashi GRP said, “The victim slipped and got stuck between the train and the platform. She suffered a few injuries. She informed us that she was feeling giddy and it is possible that she might have lost her balance due to giddiness.”u00a0
