A cop in Uttar Pradesh is being hailed as a hero after he saved the house of a priest from being gutted by fire.
A senior police officer shared a video of the incident on Twitter with a caption that reads, “A true baptism of fire for Constable Yogendra Rathi of @sambhalpolice! His indomitable courage saved a priest’s hut from getting engulfed in fire.”
The video shows flames emanating from an LPG cylinder. Rathi can be seen bringing down the cylinder to the floor with the help of his lathi. He then pulls a blanket and soaks it in water. The cop finally douses the fire by covering the cylinder with the wet blanket. At any point, Rathi does not seem to panic and he handles the whole situation calmly, using his presence of mind. The video has gone viral on social media, garnering over 5,000 views. Netizens have showered praises on him and appreciated Rathi for his deed. One user demanded that the cop be given a cash prize and gave him a salute, while another netizen mentioned that the video gave her goosebumps.
