Swiggy delivery guy saves man's life after taking him to hospital
Earlier, a Swiggy delivery boy went over and above the call of duty to help save a man's life.
The incident dates back to December 25 of last year, when the delivery executive named Mrunal Kirdat, selflessly came to the aid of a retired Colonel named Man Mohan Malik.
Man Mohan had fallen seriously ill and his son decided to rush him to the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. However, there was heavy traffic that day and thus the commute was taking longer than usual. His son requested for some help from two-wheeler riders so they could navigate through the traffic faster, but to no avail.
Finally, Mrunal came and without any hesitation rushed Man Mohan to the hospital. Mrunal asked other people stuck in the traffic to make way and quickly took the ailing man to the hospital, where he also informed the staff about the man¡¯s serious condition.
As per their post on Instagram, Swiggy revealed that the Colonel was able to recover in a few weeks' time and expressed his gratitude for the Swiggy delivery man Mrunal who jumped in and helped at a critical moment.
