A 24-year-old Sikh set aside the religious code by removing his turban to save four youths from drowning in a canal in Sangrur, Punjab.
Four youngsters of Sarafa Bazaar Market, in the age group of 18-25 years, had gone to a canal to immerse a Ganesha idol on Friday when gushing water made them lose their balance at Sular Ghaat near Sunam village.
Inderpal Singh, who was sitting on the canal embankment, spotted the drowning youths. He took off his turban, hurled it towards them and pulled them out with its help, police and witnesses said.
The incident came to light after a video was circulated in the social media.
