Brahmavar, Jun 23: As already reported, a young entrepreneur, Santhosh Shetty, lost his life after he lost control over the vehicle which then plunged into Chowlikere pond on June 21. As many media reported about Namana, a 15-year-old girl, who infused new life into Shwetha, who was inside the ill-fated car.
It may be noted here that immediately after the incident, two local youths showed immense courage and commitment in trying to save the lives of those trapped in the submerged car. They risked their own lives in jumping into the pond and bringing the two occupants of the car out.
As soon as they came to know about the accident, local youngsters, Pradeep Devadiga and Praveen Poojary, jumped into the pond without giving a thought to the risks involved and gravity of the situation. They could save the life of a lady but Santhosh did not survive the accident. The men who brought Shwetha out of the car provided her first aid.
Both the youngsters who put their own lives to stake when saving the lady have come in for lavish praise. The local residents who came together on the occasion also helped in the rescue. A big salute to everyone who got involved with the task.
