A nine-year-old girl from Worli owes her life to Assistant Police Inspector Jitendra Kuwar, who literally walked into fire to save her in the wee hours of Wednesday. Soon after a fire broke out at a garment shop in V P Nagar area around 2 am, the girl, who stays next door, found herself trapped inside.

Apart from saving four others, Kuwar managed to get her out as well, but unfortunately, suffered burn injuries on both his hands in the process. Other cops present at the spot immediately rushed him to a private hospital in Tardeo, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
