Even as many youngsters continue to struggle for a job in the Mumbai police department, a 24-year-old, who almost landed at the death’s door during a 1,600-metre run on Friday, was saved by quick medical intervention. Cops immediately administered first aid to the Pune youth and fed him. Previously, two candidates lost their lives during the recruitment drive.
Sources said Shinde arrived in Mumbai from Pune on Thursday night and spent the next few hours outside the gate of Kalina University, where the running test was conducted. He got an entry for the test between 4 am and 5 am, sources added.
