Hero Delivers Baby on Mumbai Train Platform with Doctor's Video Call Guidance: A Real-Life Rancho Story

The man successfully delivered the baby with guidance from a doctor over a video call.

A remarkable incident took place at a Mumbai railway station on Tuesday when a brave man stepped in to help a woman in labor, successfully delivering her baby on the platform. Many witnesses observed this courageous act, which has received widespread acclaim on social media, with users comparing him to Aamir Khan's character 'Rancho' from '3 Idiots'. Musician Manjeet Dhillon documented the incident on Instagram, sharing the heroic story.

The situation unfolded around 1 am at Ram Mandir station when the woman began experiencing labor pains while on a train. Fortunately, Vikas Bendre noticed her distress and immediately pulled the emergency chain to stop the train. Earlier that night, the woman's family had sought help from a nearby hospital but was denied assistance. With no alternatives, they boarded the train hoping to reach home, but the woman went into labor during the journey.

"I still get chills saying this — the woman's baby was halfway out, half inside and half outside. At that very moment, it truly felt like God had sent this brother there for a reason. We all tried our best — we called several doctors, but the ambulance was taking time to arrive. Finally, a female doctor guided him over a video call, and he did exactly what she instructed. His courage in that moment was beyond words," Manjeet Dhillon wrote in the post caption.

Demonstrating exceptional quick thinking, Vikas connected with a female doctor via video call after experiencing delays in reaching emergency services. The doctor provided step-by-step guidance throughout the delivery process.

In the video, the man can be heard saying, "Pehli baar kiya hai jeevan mein maine yeh. Itna darr lag raha tha na par video call pe madam ne help kiya" ("It's the first time I've ever done something like this. I was very scared, but a madam helped me over a video call").

The eyewitness commended the man's bravery, noting that despite initial delays in getting assistance, he carefully followed the doctor's instructions and played a vital role in saving both mother and baby.

"That night, this man became the reason two lives were saved. Many people were just watching and walking away, but we couldn't — because we are human. If you ever get a chance to help someone, take it as a sign from God and do it, my friends. He saved both the mother and the baby's lives, and together we made sure she reached the hospital safely," the caption continued.
