A Uttar Pradesh cop is being hailed as a hero after his swift reaction prevented a house from catching fire in Sambhal district. A video of the incident went viral after it was shared by Uttar Pradesh SP Rahul Srivastav, while lauding the cop, identified as Yogendra Rathi, for his actions.
“A true baptism of fire for constable Yogendra Rathi of @sambhalpolice! His indomitable courage saved a priest’s hut from getting engulfed in fire. #AngelsInKhakim” read the caption of the clip, which has now gone viral on the microblogging website.
The 1.03-minute clip shows a burning LPG cylinder and Rathi can be seen pulling it down to the floor with the help of his lathi. He then uses a towel soaked in water to douse the fire and thus averting a major disaster.
