Despite not being on duty, Rekha rushed to platform number 5. While coming to attend the distress call, she brought clothes and other necessary items from her residence. She immediately reached the pregnant woman and saw that the woman was on the verge of delivering the baby. She surrounded the entire space with a makeshift veil, and as no doctor or nurse was present on the spot, she sent the RPF staff to get a blade, cotton, bandages, etc, so that further process of delivery could be done. Meanwhile, a local midwife was called by the RPF staff.

Rekha and the midwife conducted the follow-up procedure of the natural delivery of the passenger. Later, the mother and child were safely admitted to the Civil Hospital Kosikalan. Rekha, thereby, saved the life of the woman and her child.
