A 29-year-old woman today delivered a boy in a Delhi Police PCR van while she was being rushed to a hospital.
The woman, Arti, was travelling in a train from Gwalior to Samalkha in Panipat when she felt labour pain. Her in-laws, who were accompanying her, got down at Sabji Mandi railway station here in the wee hours and sought help.
A railway employee called the police control room and help arrived quickly.
As the woman was being taken to hospital, she delivered a baby in the PCR van, said R K Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (PCR).
The woman and her child have been admitted to Bara Hindurao Hospital, said the officer.
This is another example of good work done by Delhi Police's PCR staff in the last few days, he said.
Two policemen in a PCR van had given a long chase to three miscreants in a car and rescued a 19-year-old girl kidnapped by them from Geeta Ghat on May 27.
