Dabangg cop turns Baahubali; sprints with 10-kg bomb on shoulder, saves 400 children in MP
IndiaToday.in | New Delhi | Sunday, August 27, 2017
A police constable from Madhya Pradesh's Sagar district sprinted one kilometre with a bomb to save the lives of 400 children.
Patel took a 10 kg- bomb on his shoulder and sprinted for nearly 1 kilometre in a bid to save the students of a school in Chitora village.
A 12-second video clip of Patel running with the bomb on his shoulder has gone viral on social media.
Many have drawn parallels with the scene from Tom Hanks' classic Forrest Gump.
Patel told media persons that his sole objective was to take the bomb far away from the school and residential area.
Chaos unfolded after anonymous call was made to 100 informing about the presence of an explosive in the school. Acting on the information, police rushed to the school.
A teacher from the school said that after police found the bomb, they were asked to shut the school. Nearly 400 students were present in the campus when the bomb was found.
Amid the bedlam, Patel valiantly picked up the bomb and started a sprint that lasted for nearly a kilometer.
Patel later explained that he had been in a drill where a similar bomb was spotted and had done a similar sprint.
IG Sagar Saxena, said that the police are investigating to find out who planted the bomb. Incidentally, the school is located near an Army shooting range.
In appreciation of Patel's bravado, the IG announced a reward for his exceptional courage.
