A senior official of the Chennai division of RPF said A. Mathuri was on patrol duty at the railway station of Sunday night when an unidentified person, trying to get down from the Rockfort express on Platform no. 4 that was beginning its departure from the station, slipped and fell down.

Even as he was about to fall under through the gap between the train and the platform Ms. Mathuri pulled him out in a swift action onto the platform floor. Immediately a few of the commuters rushed to her assistance and moved the person away safely. On enquiry the person neither had the train ticket nor platform ticket, the RPF official added.
