Mother, baby miraculously escape death as train runs over them

The train passed over them without causing any injury.

In a shocking incident, a woman along with her two-month-old child reportedly got off the train she was travelling in and lay on the tracks to commit suicide. Fortunately, her suicide attempt was foiled when the train passed over the mother and her infant without causing any injuries to the two.
The incident occurred on Sunday at Nepanagar railway station in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. "A woman identified as Tabassum, travelling in Kashi Express from Allahabad to Mumbai, got off the train and lay between the tracks, along with her two-month-old child, when the Pushpak Express was approaching," said Khandwa Railway Protection Force (RPF) in charge, SK Gurjar.
"Eyewitnesses told us that the train passed over them without causing any injury to the two. People present there raised an alarm and took her to hospital," he added. The woman later revealed to RPF officials that problems in her personal life drove her to take the extreme step. "She was on her way to her maternal grandmother's home in Mumbai. She has said that her stepmother got her married to a man called Sajid who allegedly divorced her when she got pregnant," Gurjar was quoted as saying in NDTV.
Post the incident, the woman and her child were kept at the Women and Child Department's centre where her relatives from Mumbai came to take her along with them, Gurjar added.
