Two Sikh Men Use Turbans To Save Four Lives

A 24-year-old Sikh set aside religious code by removing his turban to save four youth from drowning in a canal in Sangrur. Four youths of Sarafa Bazaar Market had gone to a canal to immerse Ganesha idol on Friday last when a gush of water made them lose their balance at Sular Ghaat near Sunam village.

Inderpal Singh, who was sitting on embankment of the canal, noticed that the youths were drowning. He took off his turban, hurled it towards the youths and pulled them out with its help, police and eyewitnesses said.

The incident came to light after a video was circulated on the social media.

One of the youth saved said Mr. Singh had first tried to pull them out with the help of a wire that was lying on embankment of the canal but it broke. He then used his turban.
