Soon after the delivery, the mother and newborn baby were shifted to the nearby KEM hospital for further treatment. Their condition is now stable.

The delivery took place at 10:17 p.m. and was attended by Dr. Prajwalit, a female GRP officer and few others.
A similar incident had happened in March, when a woman, Sultana Khatun, delivered a baby girl onboard a local train at the Dadar Railway Station.
