"I had boarded the train to go to Sagar in MP from Delhi's Nizamuddin. After the train crossed Faridabad, I saw a woman crying in pain. Then I came to know that the woman who was travelling with her brother to Damoh, was pregnant with the due date for delivery on January 20 but her labour pains had started in the moving train," Sunil said.

"I called Dr Suparna Sen of my hospital, who gave me instruction on a video call. I followed the instructions carefully and the woman delivered a healthy baby. At Mathura station, the RPF escorted the mother and child to the district hospital in the town," he said.

"I called the RPF personnel, who reached with a stretcher and the woman and her baby were then admitted to the district hospital of Mathura. I am very happy that I helped a woman to deliver a baby. I am not a doctor but I felt immense pleasure after helping this woman," he added.
