Summary
- Constable carried a woman's body a kilometer through tough terrain.
- The woman had allegedly taken her life in the Tungabhadra river.
- The constable acted alone due to lack of immediate assistance.
In an act of remarkable compassion, a Mantralayam police constable retrieved the body of a woman from the Tungabhadra river. The constable, G. Ranga Swamy, carried the deceased, identified as Jayashree (41) from Karnataka, for approximately one kilometer over challenging hilly terrain. Jayashree had allegedly taken her own life in the river after informing her family.
Constable Swamy located the body within minutes of being alerted, finding it floating in the river. Despite attempts to revive her on shore, it was too late. Faced with the unavailability of an ambulance and the potential risks of leaving the body exposed, he made the difficult decision to carry it himself.
He later stated his regret that the woman's life could not be saved, highlighting the selfless nature of his actions. The incident underscores the dedication and humanity shown by the constable in a difficult situation.
