Diva Panvel Railway Police Prevent Tragedy, Save 28-Year-Old From Suicide Attempt

Panvel, 1st July 2023: Diva Panvel Railway Police officers were hailed as heroes when they successfully intervened and saved the life of a 28-year-old youth who was attempting to commit suicide by coming under the railway. The incident took place on Thursday, June 29, at approximately 6 p.m. The prompt actions of the police prevented a tragedy, and the Taloja traffic branch employees were appreciated for their commendable efforts.

Senior Police Inspector Sunil Kadam deployed Police Constable Adinath Aghav and Police Constable Anil Khaire to the gate area near Pendhar railway gate along the Diva Panvel railway line due to severe complaints of traffic jams. As they were working diligently to regulate the traffic, the gateman of the railway gate urgently called them for assistance. He informed the police that a distressed young man was attempting to end his life merely 50 metres away from the railway gate.

At that moment, two trains were approaching the gate from both directions. Immediately, Police Constable Khaire rushed towards the victim, risking his own life. His swift action separated the young man from the tracks, saving him from the tragedy.

After the inquiry, it was discovered that the youth was 28 years old and resided in Phase 2 of Taloja Colony. The young man, who was married, revealed that due to a heated argument with his wife, she had switched off her phone and left his house. He told the police that he took this step out of depression.

Meanwhile, the Diva Panvel Railway Police, along with Senior Police Inspector Sunil Kadam, commended Police Constable Anil Khaire for his extraordinary courage and heroic act that saved a life. The dedicated efforts of Taloja traffic branch employees were also recognised for their vital role in ensuring the safety and well-being of the individuals.
