20-YR-OLD LOSES BOTH HER LEGS AFTER FALLING ON RAIL TRACKS

A 20-year- old hotel management student, who had lost her left leg after she accidentally slipped and fell on the railway tracks at the Dadar railway station on June 23, lost her badly injured second leg as well, which doctors amputated on Wednesday.
The Government Railway Police (GRP) said that Pooja Patil, a Thane resident, was on her way to Bandra from Dadar on June 23. The accident occurred around 9.15am.
Shivaji Shinde, senior inspector of Mumbai Central GRP said, “The girl lost her balance and fell on to the tracks. We have made an entry of the incident in the register, though no case has been registered.”
The investigation revealed that Pooja, a student of Anjuman-e-Islam’s hotel management course, was trying to board a Borivli slow local from platform 1 of Dadar (western) station.

The girl told police that she had slipped because of the smooth platform flooring and fell into the gap between the train and the platform, landing on the tracks.
The train then ran over her legs. The GRP pulled the girl out and after writing down her contact details, took her to a hospital.
The injured girl is currently admitted in the ICCU at Sion Hospital and is undergoing treatment.
A spokesperson from the Western Railway said they were still investigating the cause of the accident and the details were being looked into.
