His action was caught on camera and was widely appreciated. Nashik’s Municipal Commissioner Praveen Gedam tweeted about his bravery and shared his photo.
Praveen Gedam also noted that policemen were doing an outstanding job helping pilgrims at the Kumbhmela. Many of the were standing in the water for hours forming a human chain to prevent pilgrims from straying too far into the water, he noted.
Manoj Barahate's bravery is similar to the incident in which Punjab DSP Gurmit Singh Kingra jumped into Bathinda canal to save teachers after lathi charging them.
