Agra: A travelling ticket examiner (TTE) saved the life of a 63-year-old passenger who suffered cardiac arrest while travelling in the Puri-Haridwar Utkal Express.
On Thursday morning, the Good Samaritan, 35-year-old TTE Aftab Ahmed Khan received an alert about an unconscious passenger travelling in the Utkal Express. As soon the train reached Agra Cantt station, Khan with the help of other passengers took out the victim, placed him on a bench at the platform and started giving CPR.
Khan told TOI: “The passenger was heavily sweating and was not able to breathe. Since I had seen such patients’ rescue operations on the web, without wasting a single second, I gave the patient CPR which included chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth.”
The TTE added, “As soon as I realised that the patient had revived, I informed my seniors and called Dr Mamta Shukla, the on-duty doctor, to take the patient to hospital for further treatment,” Khan said.
The passenger who had suffered cardiac arrest was identified as Mohammad Shamim, a resident of Jhansi who was travelling along with his wife Shaheen to Agra for her medical check-up. He is a retired BHEL employee. Shamim is now admitted to the ICU of a private hospital.
