Here is a story of yet another good Samaritan. A twelve-year-old Sunny didn’t think twice before diving into Kosi river, swollen from overnight showers, to save a drowning man nearly twice his age. The incident took place in Ramnagar area of Nainital district on Sunday. According to Ramnagar station house officer (SHO) Ravi Saini, the 22-year-old man would not have made it out alive had Sunny not acted quickly. “The man had jumped into the river from the bridge. The boy saw him crying for help, caught in currents of the river. While dozens of other people stood motionless, the 12-year-old jumped into the river,” Saini said. Police have sent the man for treatment and he is stable now. An eyewitness at the spot, who did not wish to be named, said, “The boy was standing at the bridge with a friend. He jumped when he saw the man struggling. By the time he reached him, the man had washed up on a rock in the middle of the river, unconscious. It took the boy a good 15 minutes to drag him out of the eddy he was caught in. Later, with the help of a friend, he managed to get him out of the river.”
