In a dramatic turn of events, Thana Talaiya police saved a mother and her 11-year-old child from drowning in the big lake on VIP Road, Bhopal. The incident occurred on December 28, when a woman, identified as Geeta (name changed), attempted to jump into the lake with her child.
According to eyewitnesses, the police team, led by Sub-Inspector Srishti Gupta, was on patrol duty on VIP Road when they received information about a woman attempting to jump into the lake with her child. The team immediately rushed to the spot and found Geeta and her child standing near the lake’s boundary, ready to jump.
Police team quickly sprang into action and grabbed hold of both Geeta and her child, pulling them to safety.
Initially, Geeta was reluctant to reveal her identity, but after repeated questioning, she revealed her name and her husband’s name, Salim (name changed). She also disclosed that she was a resident of Jail Road, Karond.
When asked about the reason behind her attempt to jump into the lake, Geeta cited a family dispute and said she was angry. However, she refused to lodge a complaint and expressed her desire to return home with her husband.
The police team then contacted Geeta’s husband and counseled him on the matter. After ensuring that the couple was in a stable condition, the police handed them over to each other, thus saving the lives of both the mother and the child.
Timely intervention by the Thana Talaiya police has been widely praised and the team’s efforts have been recognised as exemplary.
The incident highlights the importance of prompt action in emergency situations and the crucial role that law enforcement agencies play in maintaining public safety.
