Sundar Sharma did not care for his own life and was seen immediately rushing to get hold of the child amid trails of traffic-filled road. The incident was caught on a CCTV camera where the child fell off the lap of her mother who was sitting on an e-rickshaw.

“He was on duty at Cheema Chauraha. An e-rickshaw took a very sharp turn due to which a woman on it dropped her child. The child fell in front of a bus. Without caring for his life, Sundar signalled the bus to stop, ran, picked her up,” said Circle Officer (CO) City on Monday.

The toddler was later handed over to her mother, the officials added.
