The policeman, carrying a critically injured man on his shoulder, trekked a distance of over 1.5 km to the nearest railway crossing, and his video, posted by news agency ANI, took the internet by storm.
Thirty-five-year-old Ajit, fell off a Mumbai-bound train at Ravan Peepal village near Pagdhal railway station at Hoshangabad, Madhya Pradesh, the Hindustan Times reported.
However, there was no motorable road for an ambulance, or even a police vehicle to reach him, reported the India Today.
“The spot was around 2 km away from the railway gate. The ambulance couldn't reach the spot. We went by foot and found him (Ajit) critically injured. I had to save his life, so I carried him to a railway crossing over 1.5 km away. He was then taken to the hospital,” Poonam told ANI in an interview.
Ajit, a resident of Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, was later taken to a health centre from Seoni’s Malwa area to Hoshanagabad district hospital.
