A nail-biting video of the rescue was shared on Twitter by Ministry of Railways where the railway points man or station master jumped onto the track and rushed to safe a man just in the nick of time. “A precious life was saved by the courageous act of help by on-duty staff, who jumped on tracks himself to save a person from getting gravely injured,” the tweet read.

In the 24-second footage, Kumar can be seen signalling an oncoming goods train with a green flag. As soon as he turns away from the platform, he notices a man lying on the tracks. Without wasting much time, he immediately ran towards the man and jumped on the railway tracks to save him. Kumar then lifts the man up and carries him away to an empty space between the tracks. Seconds later a train passes by, while other passengers on the platform look stunned at the heroic act. So far, it is unclear if the man jumped on the track or fell accidentally. Since being shared, this video has garnered more than 2 lakh views and several comments. Many social media users lauded the prompt action taken by the railway employee while others hailed him as a ‘true hero’.
