Watch: Super Cop’s Heroic Rescue Of Unconscious Man Amid Chennai Floods Goes Viral

Inspector E Rajeshwari from TP Chatram area in Chennai is now a star in not only the Tamil Nadu Police Department, but also on social media.

She has been an active participant in the rescue operations being carried out during the Chennai floods this year. Her efforts were captured in an awe-inspiring video in which she can be seen carrying an unconscious man on her shoulders to an auto so he can be taken to the hospital.

The incident took place on Thursday, when Inspector Rajeshwari spotted a man lying unconscious on the cemetery ground.

She carried him to an auto through the waterlogged road and asked nearby people to save him at any cost.

However, the Hindu later reported that the man lost his life on Friday. He was identified as 28-year-old Udayakumar, who worked as an assistant at the cemetery.

Regardless, following this brave act, more stories of her professional achievements are coming out. Inspector Rajeshwari was part of the investigations that booked men who allegedly raped a hearing impaired Chennai girl in 2018.
