Avtar Hothi (65), a farmer from Kamloops, British Columbia, used his turban to oull out the teen who had fallen into North Thompson River close to his farm.
&ldquo;We were trying to look around for branches, and he just took off his turban right away, threw it in the water and pulled her to shore,&rdquo; Avtar&rsquo;s son Paul said.
Sikh men consider it improper to show their hair in public, but he stated that those rules do not apply if it is a case of life and death.
