Babji said, “I was glad to see my daughter, wife, and neighbors waiting to congratulate me after that video went viral. I was so glad to see the congratulatory note written by my daughter. When I took that letter from her it was so overwhelming and I can never forget this moment ever. My neighbors also hugged and congratulated me.”
He added, “Even though I am being honored and appreciated by everyone, one of the best rewards I got was when the patient’s wife who was in the ambulance called and informed me that her husband is completely safe now. I am really glad my help could save him. I have not told anyone about this incident except my wife and mother but someone in the ambulance took the video and shared it on social media. I am glad to receive so much appreciation from people across the country.”
We salute him for his wonderful gesture to help an unknown patient! There is nothing more beautiful to see than instances of humanity.
