                                                         to  jump  off  but  the
                                                         carriage was hit and the
                                                         rider was thrown off. He
                                                         was lying unconscious in
                                                         a  pool  of  blood  as  his
                                                         head made direct contact

           the fall. Thereafter a college going student Vishnu, immediately responded by
           dialing 100. Luckily the police station was nearby, the patrol team came at the
           spot and carried the injured to the hospital immediately. His life was saved
           due to the quick response of the police team and the college student. Later
           on,  the  boy  briefed  the  police  team  on  what  he  saw  during  the  time  of
           accident. The family members of the injured rider gave a warm thanksgiving
           to the boy for his timely act. Vishnu was also nominated for state level bravery
           awards for his immediate response and proactive cooperation.
