An alert woman rescued three minor children, aged 10, 5, and 3, from a train and successfully reunited them with their families. The children had left their home in Mumbra after an argument with their parents and boarded a train on Monday.

The alert citizen, identified as Kavita Darshit Chaudhari, an Admin Manager at an MNC and a resident of Vasai, rescued the three children. Chaudhari discovered them aboard the 5:30 PM AC local at Dadar Station.

"I commute to my office at Nariman Point daily and usually take the 5:30 PM AC Virar fast local train from Churchgate Station. On Monday, I boarded the train at Churchgate Station. At Dadar Station, three children boarded without any guardians. I tried speaking to them, but they didn't respond to my questions about why they were alone, their names, or where they were from. The situation seemed suspicious, and I was shocked, so I worked on gaining their trust."

"I checked their bag and found some clothes. I immediately informed the railway police control room after crossing Andheri Station. At Borivali Station, railway cops took all three girls into custody," Chaudhari further explained.
