A person with disability was dramatically rescued from a flooded river in Takalsingh village, located in the Ashti tehsil of Maharashtra’s Beed district, amid relentless rainfall on Monday, police said.

The man was spotted being swept away by strong currents near the village, prompting five local youths to spring into action, reported news agency PTI. They tied ropes around their waists and bravely entered the raging waters to pull him to safety, officials confirmed. The man is currently receiving treatment at the Takalsingh Primary Health Centre, according to Head Constable Pravin Kshirsagar.
