In July this year, two RPF personnel saved a man’s life at KR Puram railway station in Bengaluru. A video of the incident that surfaced online shows a man trying to climb onto the platform from the track, but in vain. Before the train passed, RPF personnel rushed to the spot and pulled him to safety in the nick of time.

Last year, Mumbai Police was praised online for saving a man’s life. Tagging the police force, a man had posted a note saying he was entangled in a financial mess and was having extreme thoughts. The police later tweeted that they connected with the man and were able to console him.
