In October this year, a CCTV had caught Golkar saving the life of another commuter at Sandhurst Road railway station. ANI reported the footage of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Golkar saving the life of a 50-year-old woman. She immediately jumps to focus and saves the woman from falling into the gap between the platform and the train, which starts running while the woman was boarding it.
