Woman delivers in PCR van

May 30, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:33 am IST - NEW DELHI:

A 29-year-old woman on Sunday delivered a boy in a Delhi Police PCR van while she was being rushed to hospital.

The woman, Arti, was travelling in a train from Gwalior to Samalkha in Panipat when she felt labour pains. Her in-laws, who were accompanying her, got down at Sabji Mandi railway station here and sought help.

A railway employee then called the police control room and help arrived quickly.

As the woman was being taken to hospital, she delivered a baby in the PCR van, said R K Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (PCR).

The woman and her child have been admitted to Bara Hindurao Hospital, said the officer.

This is another example of good work done by Delhi Police’s PCR staff in the last few days, he said. On May 27, two policemen in a PCR van had chased three miscreants in a car and rescued a 19-year-old girl they had kidnapped from Geeta Ghat.— PTI
