New Delhi, February 18 The SHO of the Rajiv Chowk Metro police station saved the life of an unconscious man by administering CPR promptly after finding him in a critical condition inside a locked car near Parliament House, police said.
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening during routine patrolling when the SHO, Tej Dutt Gaur, noticed a parked car and the unresponsive driver inside, they said.
Upon closer inspection, the officer found the vehicle locked from the inside and the driver in a critical state, a senior police officer said.
As a crowd of bystanders gathered at the spot but hesitated to intervene, Gaur assessed the situation and decided to act immediately. Finding no other way to reach the victim, the officer broke the window of the vehicle to gain entry and pulled the driver out, police said.
The SHO then administered CPR on the spot. After a few minutes of resuscitation efforts, the driver regained consciousness, officials said, adding that the officer's prompt action prevented a possible fatality.
The man was later identified as a driver employed by a senior government official. He was subsequently taken for medical evaluation and is reported to be stable, police said.
