The incident took place when Mehboob was returning from the mosque after Isha prayers. They had reached near Barkheri Gate.
While lying on the track, Mehboob was thinking that no part of the train would hit him or the girl's head.
The girl who was saved by Mehboob is named Sneha Gore and she works as a sales person in a private company in Bhopal.
Sneha has not met Mehboob yet but she has admitted that Mehboob has saved her life.
His brothers were standing on the other side of the track. Sneha says she wanted to tell her brother she was safe.
Mehboob does not have his own mobile phone but now many local organizations are trying to help him. Like BBM operator Shoaib Hashim has given him a mobile phone as a tribute.
Shoaib Hashim said that Muhammad Mehboob should be respected. He risked his life to save someone else's life. He himself did not want to tell anyone about it. But it has spread through the media and social media. So now everyone is ready to help them. "
Meanwhile, local police officers also thanked Muhammad Mehboob.
Zeeshan Qureshi, who works in the same area, was present when the incident took place. I was standing in front, he says. I wondered how they could take such a big risk. He could have died.It simply came to our notice then. When the girl left after the train left she was very upset and immediately ran to her relative.
Zeeshan says there were many people there but no one showed such bravery.
There are no pedestrian bridges in this densely populated area. There used to be a gate here but locals say it was closed seven years ago. Now the place is cramped and thousands of people cross the track unsafely every day.
Every day there is a freight train park here, which sometimes stops for half an hour, says Makin Almas Ali. That is why people are impatient. They pass under the train to reach the other side.
It has caused many accidents in the past. According to the railway police, 18 people lost their lives due to this last year. People have demanded the construction of the bridge many times and now after the accident, the railway department has also approved the project. But it may take one to two years to build the bridge.
