Father and daughter started to drown
With the door open, water began filling the car, and Tayyab, who didn’t know how to swim, and Zaunak started drowning.
Sumit Mathew, a 26-year-old mechanical engineer, saw the incident unfolding and decided to dive in and help.
“I’m a good swimmer, so I jumped in immediately. The girl was still inside the car. Her father was closest to me, so I decided to save him first and go back for the girl. While I swam back with him, others swam towards the car and saved the girl,” he said.
The police reported that the father and daughter were taken to a local hospital and given first-aid for minor injuries.
Tayyab told the police that the handbrake “accidentally got disengaged” and continued to move despite trying to stop it.
