A woman and her two-month-old child had a miraculous escape after she lay down between the tracks, allegedly in suicide attempt. However, the train passed over them without causing the two any injuries.

The incident occurred on 23 June, at Nepanagar railway station, part of Central Railway's Bhusawal division, located in MP's Burhanpur district.

“A woman identified as Tabassum, travelling in Kashi Express from Allahabad to Mumbai, got off the train and lay between the tracks along with her two-month-old child when the Pushpak Express was approaching,” said Khandwa Railway Protection Force (RPF) post in charge SK Gurjar.

"Eyewitnesses have told us that the train passed over them without causing any injury to the two. People present there raised an alarm and took her to hospital," Gurjar said.

When questioned, Tabassum told RPF officials that she tried to take her own life due to personal problems, Gurjar said.

“She was on her way to her maternal grandmother’s home in Mumbai. She has said that her stepmother got her married to a man called Sajid. The man allegedly divorced her when she got pregnant,” Gurjar said.

The woman was kept at the state Women and Child Department's Sakhi centre and some relatives arrived from Mumbai on Sunday afternoon to take her home, Gurjar said.
