The patient was revived and sent to the hospital
The incident occurred in the Moolganj area. The woman became distraught upon seeing her husband in an unconscious state. Sub-Inspector Rohit Tomar, who was standing nearby, immediately assessed the situation. He used the CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) technique to revive the patient.
Rohit Tomar utilized his training, applying regular pressure to the patient's chest and giving him mouth-to-mouth breaths.

CPR is a life-saving technique
CPR is a technique used when a person's heart stops beating or they stop breathing. Its purpose is to restart the heart and maintain oxygen supply to the brain and other vital organs.
In case of a heart attack, pressure is applied to the patient's chest with both hands, 100-120 times per minute. After every 30 compressions, two rescue breaths are given. This process continues until the person regains consciousness or further medical help arrives.
Rohit Tomar saved a citizen's life
Rohit Tomar had received CPR training, which he applied in a real-life situation. The Kanpur Commissionerate Police periodically trains its staff in CPR and life-saving techniques to save lives in any adverse situation. It was due to this training that the sub-inspector made an immediate decision and pulled the patient out of a critical condition. The victim's wife expressed her gratitude and appreciation towards the sub-inspector.
