Not all heroes wear capes, and there have been many incidents in the real world that prove that point time and again. On that list is a new name, that of UP cop constable Yogendra Rathi. A video of the cop calmly handling a fire that could have engulfed an entire house is going viral and winning praise from people.
The cop in Uttar Pradesh sprang into action after an LPG cylinder caught fire inside a house.
Twitter
A tweet was shared by additional SP Rahul Srivastav with the caption, 'A true baptism of fire for Constable Yogendra Rathi of @sambhalpolice. His indomitable courage saved a priest¡¯s hut from getting engulfed in fire¡¯.
The video starts with an LPG cylinder on fire and the looming fear that it might burst at any moment.The cop however kept his calm and using a long pole, manoeuvred the LPG cylinder. He tried to pull it away from the kitchen shelf. A child then comes to him with a bucket of water in which the constable dips what looks like a blanket. As many people know blankets act as insulators and wet blankets usually get the job done better.

The cop completely drenches the cloth in water, taking his time, calm all the while and then approaches the LPG cylinder. He puts out the fire by covering the entire cylinder in the wet blanket. People online praised the cop for his bravery and the huge risk he took while saving a family and their home.
Really commendable work he has done....

In another praiseworthy act, a police constable in Mumbai turned a Maruti Omni into an ambulance to help transport COVID-19 patients. The cop identified as Tejesh Brijlal is currently posted at Cuffe Parade police station. Not only did Tejesh turn the car into 'COVID ambulance', he is paying for the petrol used to ferry patients to hospitals free of cost.
According to a report in Times of India, Mumbai police praised the constable for his selfless act. They posted a video of the cop with the caption, 'Healthcare workers come in all get-ups. Some wear aprons while others wear khaki just like police constable Tejesh Sonawane from Cuffe Parade police station. He has been ferrying the needy to medical aid in his modified ¡®Omni¡¯-Ambulance for free.'
