Man Loses Legs in Sarai Rohilla Station Mishap During Robbery Attempt.

In a distressing incident at Sarai Rohilla railway station, Gangji Velgi, a 55-year-old commuter, lost both legs while resisting a robbery attempt on the Ala Hazrat Express. The tragedy unfolded on January 17 when a young assailant attempted to snatch Gangji’s bag, leading to a fall between the platform and the moving train.

Delhi Police have detained a minor in connection with the case, investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Returning from Bhuj, Gujarat, with his family, Gangji recounted the ordeal, stating, “I tried to stop him, but he was strong. I fell under the train, screaming for help. After some time, someone pulled the chain and stopped the train.” Unfortunately, assistance arrived late, and Gangji’s legs were crushed by the time he was rescued.

Kamal, Gangji’s son, described the chaotic scene, mentioning that it took nearly a dozen individuals to free his father. Gangji, a warehouse manager in Okhla, is now facing life-altering consequences, having lost both legs.

Technicians swiftly extracted him, and a case was registered under sections related to voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery. The family, shocked by the sudden turn of events, is grappling with the challenges ahead.
