Seema and her sister Asha (23), had come from Solapur, and were leaving for home after the physical tests on Sunday.
They tried to board the Chennai Express from Dadar’s platform number 5 at about 2:15 pm. According to RPF Inspector Satish Menon, Seema boarded the train, but on seeing that Asha could not board it, she panicked and jumped out of the running train. Fortunately for her, some RPF officials quickly pulled her away and stopped her from going into the gap between the train and the platform.
