A police personnel went beyond his call of duty by not only helping a Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) driver who fell ill at the wheel, but also driving the bus to clear the way for movement of other vehicles.
The incident occurred earlier this week around 11.45 a.m. when a driver on the Shivajinagar-Kadugodi route fell ill in the middle of the journey. He halted the bus near the Command Hospital on HAL Airport Road.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Ramachandra D. from Halasuru, who was assigned security duties on HAL Airport Road, noticed the bus coming to a halt on the road. He made arrangements to shift the driver to Bowring Hospital before taking the wheel of the bus. He drove the vehicle from ASC Centre & College to Artillery Road.
