A baby boy born at Delhi Police PCR Van Delhi’s Subzi Mandi Railway station.
A PCR van turned into a delivery room and cops played midwife as a 23-year-old woman delivered a healthy baby boy inside the vehicle while being rushed to hospital on Saturday.
The woman, Aarti, had gone into labour around 5am while travelling from Gwalior to Samalkha, Haryana, on the Dadri Express, police said. Her in-laws, travelling with her, sought help from the ticket checker, who informed the railway control room, which, in turn, alerted the police.
The train was asked to make an unscheduled stop at Delhi’s Subzi Mandi station. By then, Aarti’s state was desperate. Her water sac had broken and she was about to deliver.
A PCR van drove up to the platform as other travellers carried her out of the train.
Head constable Sanjeev and constable Sanjay were ready with a stretcher and took the woman into the van, where she delivered with their help. The cops also arranged for towels and hot water for the new-born.
