“The screams and the SOS calls made by the trapped mother and daughter duo guided me to reach them, pull them out into safety. Luckily, none of us was injured,” he said.
Mr. Sravan said that he was totally unmindful and driven only by the call of the duty to rescue the victims, and not even a single thought about his life and family stuck in his mind. “It was a single-minded precise rescue operation I had,” he said.
Ms. Malleshwari works at a hotel in the building and her daughter was accompanying her.
