NEW DELHI — Four local Muslim youths, along with one of their Hindu friends, their friend, rescued six guests of a wedding party, including the groom’s father, after their Bolero car plunged into the flooded Shyam Nala in Mahoba city in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh over the weekend.
According to media reports, without considering the risk to their lives, Tausif, Shafeeq, Irfan, Jamshed and Deendayal dived into the swollen river and successfully carried out the rescue operation in a heroic act.
The incident occurred on the night of July 11 near the Shyam Nala in Sirsicla village. All members of the wedding party were escorted to safety due to the courage and valour shown by the Muslim youths. The act has drawn all-around praise and is being presented as an example of communal harmony and humanity first.

The wedding procession of Rohit, son of Ram Avatar, was heading towards the Banda district. A temporary road near the Sirsicla village bridge overflowed due to heavy rain, causing the car to wash away. Tausif and Shafeeq, who were working nearby, heard the screams and jumped into the water with their friends, according to reports.
Despite the strong current and dangerous conditions, the youths carried out a rescue operation for nearly one and a half hours and successfully brought all six members of the wedding party to safety.
Locals allege that construction of the bridge has been ongoing for nearly a year, but neither the Public Works Department (PWD) nor the contractor has installed barricades or warning signs on the hazardous route. Continuous rainfall combined with the lack of safety measures led to this major accident.
Hanna Police Station in-charge Dharmendra Singh arrived at the scene with a police team after receiving information of the incident. With the help of local villagers, a tractor was brought in to pull the Bolero out of the stream.
The incident has once again raised serious questions about government negligence and inadequate public safety measures.
