Three men rescue six-year-old girl from Hussainsagar lake in Hyderabad
In Hyderabad, three men rescued a six-year-old girl from Hussainsagar lake after she cried for help.
Police said her mother, who has two daughters, allegedly pushed the younger child into the lake and fled.
The girl had reportedly been ill for two months, and police said her mother was distressed by the medical expenses.
The child held on to a bamboo pole in the water until a passer-by heard her cries and alerted others.
Autorickshaw driver Fakruddin jumped into the lake, and, with help from K. Balakrishna and Mohammed Afsar, pulled her out.
Police took the girl to Gandhi Hospital for treatment, and the three rescuers received cash awards from the Hyderabad Police Commissioner.
