According to a report in <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/motorman-saves-woman-crossing-tracks-by-halting-in-nick-of-time/articleshow/57764323.cms" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Times of India</a>, Pune resident identified as Sunanda Chuahan jumped on to the tracks as he wanted to get to platform number 3. However, a local towards CST was moving on the same track towards her.

The report further added that since locals move at a speed of 30-40 km per hour while pulling into a station, the motorman felt the woman had time to move out of the way. However, according to Central Railway (CR) officials, she may not have noticed the <a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/mumbai-motorman-suicide-bid-woman-dahanu-churchgate-train-railway-tracks/17595179" target="_blank">train</a> coming towards her.
