A man stranded while fishing in high current waters under a bridge in Chhattisgarh's Kanker was rescued by Border Security Force (BSF) personnel on Tuesday.
Sub Inspector Biju Kumar, a BSF national level swimmer, pulled him out of the fast flowing Mendki river to safety with the hep of jawans, ANI reported.
In a video of the rescue, Biju Kumar is seen swimming towards the stranded man. As he climbs over washed up trees and makes his way towards the man, he holds onto a rope let down by jawans standing on top of the bridge.
When he reaches the man who was "fighting for his life", Biju Kumar ties the rope around him and a crowd of people come together to pull the man onto the bridge to safety.
