Constable Kumar hauled the man back to the platform seconds before the train arrived.

If Constable Kumar failed to get back on the platform, the 2 would have sustained life-threatening injuries.

A number of watchers of the video congratulated the courageous act of the constable, but many were heard saying the passenger should be punished for trying to cross the tracks illegally.
