Being a policeman is often synonymous with being brave. We hear various incidents where cops save lives without even thinking twice about themselves.
Meet Manoj Barahate, a 24-year-old policeman, who jumped off a 20-feet-high bridge in Kumbh and saved a man from drowning.
Manoj was on duty with his team (a colleague and assistant sub-inspector) at the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Nashik. He was near the Amardham bridge where the incident happened.
Details of the incident:
Between 3-4 PM, a 45-year-old man came and stood near the railing of the bridge. He was seen muttering to himself. The man lifted one of his legs and jumped off the 20-feet-high bridge.
With stupefied onlookers everywhere, some of them tried to enter the water from under the bridge.
Without wasting any time, Manoj being one of the onlookers took out his mobile phone and wallet and dived. So brave, right?
When asked about his intrepid act, Manoj said,
This act obviously didn’t go unnoticed. Praveen Gedam, IAS officer and Commissioner tweeted about his bravery.
