“I resisted and they pushed me out of the train. I could not move. I remember seeing a train coming towards me. I tried getting up. By then, the train had run over my leg. I don't remember anything after that.
Immediately, as she fell on the railway track, another train on a parallel track crushed her leg below the knee. She was rushed to the hospital with serious leg and pelvic injuries, and lost her leg after doctors amputated it to save her life.
On the night of 11th April, 2011
On her way to Delhi from Lucknow from Padmavati Express train
Was attacked by a group of local robbers.
Tried to snatch her gold chain which was gifted by her mother. Tried to resist them.
Due to her athletic physique and fitness, she gave them a tough time. But, being a lonely girl, she could not resist them for longer and eventually, she was overpowered by them.
Those inhuman guys threw her out of the running train.
Another train coming on the parallel track run over her legs.
By the time, she reached hospital, the doctors were left with no option but to amputate her left leg below the knee.
Otherwise, the infection could have spread in the whole body. Her right leg also didn’t remain completely immune from that accident.
A rod was inserted in the right leg- from knee to ankle.
She spent 4 months at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
One day, while lying on the bed in the hospital, she read an article about the Mount Everest- the ultimate destination of every mountaineer.
Then only, she decided to climb it.
She took inspiration from Yuvraj Singh and other famous personalities who won over cancer and other life threatening conditions to bounce back and prove their mettle.
People used to come to meet me in the hospital and sympathize by saying words like- “you would not be able to play volleyball anymore” or “what a tragedy with this young girl.”
