Cab Driver Sanjay Yadav, Was Praised For His Heroic Deed After Preventing A Woman From Falling Off Atal Setu
The 31-year-old taxi driver, Sanjay Yadav, is receiving praise from political parties and the public on the internet for saving the 56-year-old woman from plunging over the Mumbai Trans-Harbour link (MTHL) bridge on Friday. He had a busy Saturday fielding calls.
Yadav said that the woman Reema Patel was a frequent client of his friend, a taxi driver, but that on Friday, the friend was out of town and requested Yadav to pick her up. She looked to be extremely upset even in the cab. Yadav stated, “She was instructed to go to the Atal Setu bridge after first asking to be taken to Airoli.
According to Yadav, she didn’t say much but gave off a really uneasy vibe. “My phone rang in the interim following a message that I got. She screamed that she didn’t enjoy noise when she became really agitated by it. It unsettles her. When I questioned her about how she handled the Ganapati celebration, all she could say was that noise of any type disturbed her mentally,” he continued.
She had asked to pause on the bridge and informed him that she needed to submerge some pictures of God. She insisted that it would just take a few minutes before they could depart despite Yadav telling her that it is not permitted to stop on the bridge.
Yadav warned her not to climb when he spotted her clambering up the railing, but she persisted that he could only submerge if she did. “Scared and unsure of her intentions, I chose to stand close to her. She lost focus and stumbled when the bacon-laden traffic van pulled up. Yadav remarked, “Even I was distracted at the time because I was staring at the traffic police, and all I could do was grab her hair. I’m glad I could do that since I could save a life.”
He claimed that his Jharkhand family has also been extremely proud of him. The police informed him that although he should have been penalized for stopping at the bridge, he would not be punished since he had saved a life. However, the police did advise him to notify all of his driving buddies that, regardless of what a passenger may say, no one should ever stop on the Atal Setu bridge.
