According to a report in <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/mumbai-railway-cops-manage-to-stall-couples-suicide-save-girl/articleshow/79521783.cms" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Times of India</a>, the couple came from platform 2 to 1 and got down on the tracks. Horrified travellers watched as the couple lied down on the tracks after getting down from the platform. Alert constables Bade and Yadav from Kurla GRP were on platform 1 when they heard the commotion.
Upon spotting the couple, the duo got down on the tracks and pulled the couple onto the platform. Later, the couple was taken to the police station, where they were counseled. Prajapati's brother Sonu (23) was summoned from Goregaon and his statement was recorded. Sonu took the couple home.

In another incident, a 12-year-old schoolgirl lost consciousness after she fell while trying to alight from a moving local train at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/byculla-all" target="_blank">Byculla</a> station. An alert GRP constable scooped the minor girl in his arms and rushed her to the hospital. The brave act of the constable was caught on camera and has gone viral on social media.
According to the police, the girl lives in Madanpura with her parents. On November 26, she and her mother Sameera Ansari were returning from her maternal grandmother's home at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/mumbra-all" target="_blank">Mumbra</a>. The duo was standing at the door to alight at Byculla station and before the train halted, the girl tried to get off and landed on the platform.

The girl could have slipped into the gap between the train and platform had a vigilant bystander not pulled her to safety in time. Patrolling constables Jayant Wakde and Mandakini Mane of CSMT GRP rushed towards the girl. Without wasting time and waiting for a stretcher, Wakde picked her up while Mane cleared the way.
Constable Wakde did not wait for an ambulance to arrive and hailed a taxi and took the girl to JJ Hospital. Doctors treated her for head and elbow injuries. "She was discharged the same day and is doing fine," her aunt said.
