The boy was playing near the Ballabgarh station when he&nbsp;fell on the railway tracks after he was allegedly pushed by a teenager, who is believed to be his brother. A goods train was speeding towards him. By the time the driver hit the emergency brakes, the train had already run over the boy.
A panicked train driver&nbsp;and his assistant stepped out and to their disbelief, the boy escaped without a scratch. With the help of others, the loco pilot managed to get the boy out from under the engine. Later, the boy was handed over to his mother.
