Aarti, 23, was travelling by train from Gwalior, a city in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, to Samalkha, a town in the Indian state of Haryana, when she asked for help. The train was asked to make an emergency stop at Delhi's Subzi Mandi station. A police van drove up to the platform as other travelers carried Aarti, who was about to deliver, out of the train.
Head constable Sanjeev and constable Sanjay took the woman into the van where she gave birth around 5 a.m. local time. The police officers also arranged towels and hot water for the child. The cops then drove to the Hindu Rao hospital, where doctors confirmed that both the mother and the new born were in good health.
The police are expected to receive an award, Delhi Police Chief of Security, Operations, Armed Police and Recruitment units Sanjay Beniwal told the media.
