Overview
- Police received a distress call and the Laskana Dial 112 PCR van was first on scene before officers found the seventh-floor flat locked from the inside.
- Constable Shailesh Chudasama climbed the building’s exterior grille from a neighbouring unit to enter through a window and restrain the man after finding he had consumed a poisonous substance.
- Officers removed the remaining poison, carried the victim downstairs and drove toward a Kamrej hospital where an ambulance met them and the man was shifted for emergency treatment.
- The rescued man, identified in reports as Kunal and who works in the diamond industry, survived and is receiving treatment following the June 8 response.
- A video of the rescue went viral and drew public and official praise, highlighting how frontline Dial 112 rapid-response teams sometimes use improvised access to save lives in high-rise locked-flat emergencies.
