Pune: Vikram Pardeshi, a 44-year-old resident of Pune, showcased remarkable determination by voting in the Maharashtra assembly elections Wednesday despite suffering multiple fractures while saving a man from falling 40 feet, reports Joy Sengupta. He arrived at the polling booth in a wheelchair with bandaged limbs.
A trained life-saver with Rashtriya Life Saving Society, he suffered his injuries on Oct 3 while rescuing a man dangling from a balcony. Although he successfully saved the man, he fell during the effort. Pardeshi was advised complete rest after five surgeries, but he prioritised voting.
Overcoming an uneven ramp, he limped into the booth. “Nothing can stop me from voting. If I don’t vote, I shouldn’t be expecting any change and shouldn’t complain,” he said.
