DGP UP Om Prakash Singh on Thursday announced commendation disc for constable Umeed Ali, helped to extract accident victims from a car which fell in a deep drain.

Announcing the award on his official twitter handle, Singh wrote, “I salute the extraordinary spirit of service showed by constable Ummed Ali of Agra police and his efforts to save precious human lives. I am glad to announce the DG’s commendation disc for him.”

On Wednesday evening, a speeding car with four passengers including two college girls plunged into drain in industrial area of Sikandra. Ali, a 2011 batch constable, who reached the spot on getting the news immediately jumped into the 14-foot-deep drain without any safety gear to extract the victims.

Speaking to TOI, Umeed said, “It was utter chaos when I reached the accident spot. The victims were unconscious and trapped inside the car which was flooded with sewer water. It took almost half an hour to extract the victims. I’m happy for the recognition and award, but I regret that none of the victims could survive.”

Ali was discharged from hospital on Thursday after he fell ill from swallowing sewer water during the rescue operation.  Amit Pathak, SSP, Agra also announced Rs 10,000 cash award for Ali to reward his bravery.
