The miraculous survivor, Natekar said that "I was crossing the tracks when I suddenly saw the train coming. I was stunned and I did not know what happened. When I woke up I was in hospital. I definitely won't ever cross the tracks again.

"I was listening to music on high volume, so could not hear the train. People at the station gestured me to move away, I was in a hurry and so I decided to cross the road. People were stretching their arms to help me but I ignored them. By ten it was too late and eye closed my eyes, when I opened my eyes, I saw being pulled out from under the train," she said.

"She should have taken the help of the passengers at the platform and gotten off the tracks. Fortunately, nothing major happened," said an official from the Government Railway Police at Kurla.

"We treated her for minor injury and sent her home. We weren't even aware that it was a railways-related injury," said Vidya Thakur, Superintendent at the Rajawadi Hospital.
