Hyderabad: Courageous action by Tappachabutra Police saves life in nick of time
Hyderabad, May 29
In a remarkable act of courage and presence of mind, Police constable B Suresh of Tappachabutra Police Station saved the life of a TGPDCL contract worker who suffered a severe electric shock while carrying out repair works near Kummarwadi Hanuman Temple, Karwan.
Responding instantly during his BC-I patrolling duty, the constable rushed to the spot and found the worker unconscious and not breathing.
Without wasting a moment, Suresh administered CPR on-site and successfully revived the victim's pulse and breathing before shifting him to the hospital for further treatment.
Doctors stated that the timely CPR given during the golden hour played a crucial role in saving the worker's life, highlighting the Hyderabad City Police's commitment towards public safety and humanitarian service.
In another heartwarming incident, CISF Inspector K Bikendra in April saved the life of a passenger, Suresh Kumar, who was travelling from Imphal to Delhi on an Air India Express flight. Kumar suddenly collapsed at the check-in area due to a suspected cardiac condition.
The on-duty CISF Inspector responded immediately, alerting the airport medical team and administering CPR to the non-breathing passenger. Shortly thereafter, Kiron, a Commandant (Medical) with the CRPF, present as a co-passenger, took over the resuscitation efforts.
The passenger regained consciousness and was shifted to the hospital via an airport ambulance. The passenger was reported stable.
In another incident, earlier this month, a 41-year-old wife of an Indian Army officer, declared brain dead at Command Hospital, Chandimandir, in Panchkula, gave a new lease of life to a 14-year-old boy after her family consented to donate her organs, officials said.
Her heart was allocated to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, where a specialised team quickly travelled to Chandigarh via chartered flight to retrieve the organ and transport it back within the critical time window. A green corridor was created to ensure rapid movement from the airport to the hospital.

Golden hour taught in medical books, but for a constable to perform CPR perfectly on the spot—that's real training paying off. Also inspiring to see CISF and CRPF personnel stepping up. But I wonder: why aren't CPR and basic emergency response part of mandatory training for all government staff in public-facing roles? Too often it's about personal heroism rather than systemic readiness.
Kudos to the constable and the CISF officer. But reading about the organ donation story is equally heartwarming—a family's decision to donate in their moment of grief saved a 14-year-old boy. That's the real cycle of life. I hope more Indians learn about organ donation and break the myths around it.
Great to see such stories from India. Makes you appreciate the unsung heroes—police constables working in tough conditions. The coordination for the organ retrieval with chartered flights and green corridors also shows that India's medical infrastructure can be world-class when the will is there.
Emergency response in India is improving, but stories like these are too few. Constable Suresh deserves a medal—but his action also points to how we need more such heroes in every police station. What if he hadn't known CPR? We would have lost a worker's life. Training must be universal.
These incidents are a testament to the fact that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when well-trained and alert. Constable B Suresh and CISF Inspector K Bikendra are unsung heroes. It's wonderful that Hyderabad Police is showcasing such commitment. The organ donation story just adds to the feel-good factor.
