MUMBAI: A 5-month-old girl was “forgotten” on an train by her family while they got off Benaras-Mumbai Superfast Festival Special in Kalyan on Monday. The infant, found at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, was later reunited with her family. Around 12.50pm, RPF officials learnt about a baby on a seat in coach S1. A woman employee took charge of her.
Railway officials checked the reservation list which showed the seat was reserved by Nalasopara resident Shivnarayan Gautam. Gautam told RPF the baby was his grandchild, and the mother passed away. Gautam travelled from UP with the infant, his ailing wife and two children. While getting off they forgot the child. When they realised it, the train had left. RPF verified the account with the father before handing her over.
