The incident occurred when a passenger named Ravi Chaudhary approached S. P. Phirke, Train Conductor & Ambreesh Kumar Tiwari, Train Ticket Examiner, Bhusaval, at around 5:25 pm for help since his wife named Jyoti had gone into sudden and severe labour pain and her condition was deteriorating.

At 5:28 PM, the on-duty staff alerted Bhopal Control, requesting urgent medical assistance including a doctor and ambulance at Harda station. The control room promptly assured that medical help would be kept ready at Harda.
Meanwhile, the Running Staff team, with the assistance of fellow women passengers helped the woman deliver a healthy baby boy at approximately 5:40 pm while the train was still running. The cries of the newborn brought joy and relief to all passengers in the coach.
The train arrived at Harda station at 6:07 pm, where RPF personnel, Station Staff, a woman constable, and helpers were ready with medical support.
