As the train moved in reverse for some distance, the woman appeared beneath the train with her legs soaked in blood as she attempted to get up.
Later, police officials arrived to her rescue and lifted her from the railway tracks.
Indian media outlets said that the Thane-bound train was overcrowded due to the cancellation of several trains amid continues rains leading to waterlogging in multiple platforms.
