A policeman in Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh was rescued by a cautious bystander when he was surrounded and beaten by a mob during an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protest on Friday, December 20, reported NDTV.

Hajji Qadir was reportedly offering namaz when he noticed the policeman, Ajay Kumar, surrounded and beaten by a mob. Qadir came to the policeman’s rescue, took him to his house and assured him that he will be safe, according to NDTV.

“Hajji Qadir sahab took me to his home. I had injuries on one of my fingers and head. He gave me water and his clothes to wear and assured me that I will be safe. He took me to the police station later.”
