Mathura: A one-year-old baby had a miraculous escape even after a train ran over her at Mathura Railway Station Tuesday.
In a 30-second-long video which has gone viral on internet, the baby girl can be seen lying on the tracks while a train passes over her. As soon as the train left the platform, a few people ran onto the tracks where they found the baby safe, and crying, much to the relief of her parents and other passengers on the platform.
According to reports, the incident occurred on platform 1 at Mathura railway station earlier Tuesday afternoon. The baby’s father, identified as one Sonu from Deeg Gate in Mathura, was climbing out of the train after he realised that someone had stolen some money kept in his shirt pocket. As he was climbing out, Sonu’s wife, who was holding the baby girl, got pushed from behind in the train and in the commotion, the baby fell from her grasp and onto the railway track.

Before her parents could retrieve her from the ground, the train started moving in full speed with the baby still lying on the tracks. The baby’s parents and other passengers were left with no option but to watch the terrifying event unfold, even as a few onlookers recorded the incident on their mobile cameras.
Miraculously, the baby girl received no injuries in the ordeal and was safely picked up from the tracks and handed over to her family. The girl’s name is Sahiba, reports said.
