Super cop - kumbh mela. Kudos to this cop

Brave and Selfless Police Man Jumps Off A 20 Feet Bridge Without A Second Thought.

Kumbh Mela is being held in Nasik these days. A big congregating of Hindu devotes to take bath in Godawari, it happens every 12 years.
It is a gathering of 10s of millions pilgrims rushing to take bath and casualties, stampede is major risk. In 2003 around 29 people lost their lives. Police have made meticulous arrangements this year to avoid and such accident. However police was not ready for the kind of incident seen here, a man jumped off a bridge to take his life.

A devotee attending the Kumbh Mela in Nashik in Maharashtra tried to kill himself by jumping off a bridge into the waters of the River Godavari below. Manoj Barahate, the policeman on duty there went too far on the line of duty and jumped into the river after him to save the man’s life. It is a sheer bravery to jump off 20 feet high bridge to save someone’s life.

On Twitter, Praveen Gedam, the top official of the local corporation, said the police office had jumped off “a 20-feet-high bridge”.

Wish every cop does similar work and does not differtiate people based on their power, money or religion .

The cop was doing his duty which is good. Unfortunately the duty as per Indian law is not what we understand.
The cop was chasing a criminal. As per IPC attempting suicide is a crime and the man if survives needs to be prosecuted.
It is ironic that if the cop did his duty then the man should have been arrested and criminal charges pressed.
If he let the man go then he did not do his duty.
I'm not making this up its Indian law.
Go figure.

Probably a carry-over from the time of the Raj. No subjects of the British king or queen were allowed to take their lives and fail. To fail was punishable under British law. (They could hardly punish those who succeeded.)
