Adityam Tyagi and Nitish Tandon, their flatmates, were scheduled to have a pleasant day off from work on Monday. They had just awoken from their private company jobs in Noida when they heard a disturbance outside their rented 10-story apartment in Sector 74.

When I looked up, I saw only two legs dangling in the air… I called for Nitish, and he followed me.
“I asked Nitish to hold his legs, and we pulled him up,” he explained. Hours later, the man’s family arrived at the institution and took him home. “His parents would not cease thanking us.
