Brave Chennai man risks life to save woman from being raped

How many times have you stopped by to help someone? Not much? This story of this courageous Chennai man who fought men trying to rape a girl will inspire you!


Vasanth Paul, who was returning home after watching Rajinikanth's 'Kabali', said that he took a detour at Alandur, to avoid poor roads. He then heard a faint voice calling out for help. Initially he thought it to be an animal, but then he realised that someone was calling out for help.


He posted on Facebook about his incident.


The incident took place in Alandur area of Chennai on Friday night where three men were trying to undress a woman in a desolated patch of land.

Vasanth spotted the guys and the girl who was screaming for help and without caring for his own safety or any repercussions, he intervened. The men then tried to strangle him but Vasanth bravely held on his own.

He sustained injuries in the ordeal. Luckily, an auto driver came just in time and together they were able to save the girl.

The auto driver and Vasanth thrashed the men but they still fled.

In his Facebook post, Vasanth concludes with a hard-hitting message. "Don't be afraid to face a situation, just because you're alone. If the cause is right, the world would join you right away."

The police are now investigating the matter but no case has been filed as of now.
