Heroes are seen on the screen and in real life, we witness fewer incidents that inspire us. Meet real-life hero Schalke from this viral video.
Mayur Schalke, who joined the railway 6 months ago, saved the life of a child who fell down on the railway track. The child was walking on the platform with his mother and suddenly child's hand was detached from the mother's hand. The child fell down on the railway track and was not able to climb the platform. The train was a few meters away. Schalke risked his life and ran towards the child to save him after listening to the scream of the child's mother. Death was in front of the child, but from the efforts of Mayur, he was in the safe.
Mother was few inches away from her child, then why did not she extended her hand to save her own child? The reason for so is that the woman is blind and all she could was screeching.
This is not a scripted film scene, this all happened on the Mumbai railway station and the whole incident was captured on the CCTV camera.
