Traffic constable Mehboob Tamboli with Maruti Shinde
A traffic police constable went above and beyond his duty to save the life of a starving man, who was stuck inside an autorickshaw for 10 days after suffering a severe sprain in his back. On June 27, Mehboob Tamboli was headed for lunch when he noticed someone gesturing at him — asking for food. Tamboli went closer and saw a feeble man crawling outside the three-wheeler. He immediately got Maruti Shinde, 36, some food, juice and water, and contacted the police control room for an ambulance.
"He was unable to walk and speak. He hadn't eaten anything for 10 days. Shinde was pleading to me, 'mujhe bacha lo, mai jeena chahta hun (Please save me, I want to live)'," Tamboli told mid-day.
