drowning

“It is not just my duty as a civil servant, but also my dharma as a human being, to help the other in need, and I did just that"

The three young sailors: Akash (diver), Dhananjay Seaman (swimmer) and Vishwakarma (Marine Commando), wasted no time to rescue the man who had fallen into the sea.

For the last 22 years, this man who runs a humble bhurji-pav stall in Old Tofkhana, Shivajinagar, has saved suicidal people from drowning. Apart from this, he has helped fish out 600 bodies from the Mula-Mutha rivers due to suicides or accidental deaths.

Around 220 km from Kolkata, is Narayangarh, where Rumpa is a student at a school.

“I only know that I cannot see someone dying in front of me. That is why I do what I do.”

The Kerala State Police Chief took to Facebook to congratulate the policeman and also announced a reward for him.
