The gesture has drawn widespread praise and was a healthy respite from the tense "security forces versus local populace" dynamics. The donor was from the same paramilitary force that suffered a massive suicide terror attack in Pulwama on 14 February, in which more than 40 troopers were killed.
New Delhi (Sputnik): Despite the acrimonious relationship between security forces in the troubled northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir and its local population, a security trooper belonging to the Central Reserve Police Force went beyond the call of his duty and donated blood to save a woman in desperate need of blood during delivery. The woman was facing life-threatening complications during childbirth.
The man, Constable Gohil Shailesh, not only saved the 25-year-old woman, but saved the newborn infant also.
The post has gone viral on social media and the soldier has been highly praised for his deed.
