Kashmiri youth today rescued a soldier who was trapped inside a mangled vehicle which had met an accident on Srinagar Bypass road near Lasjan area of the city, police said.
An army vehicle veered off the road after the driver lost control at Lasjan and hit a tree, a police official said.
He said one soldier was trapped inside the badly damaged vehicle and efforts of other army men to evacuate him did not fructify.
“Local Kashmiri youth rushed to the spot and managed to bring the injured army jawan out by placing a truck next to the damaged army vehicle,” the official said.
Some passersby shot the entire incident on their mobile phones.
The video of the incident has been widely shared on ‘youtube’ and other social networking sites.
In July, local residents of Bijbehara in south Kashmir Anantnag district defied curfew to rescue over 20 Amarnath pilgrims whose vehicle had met an accident during the beginning of the current unrest.
