Hyderabad: City Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar on Monday praised the courage and humanity shown by a youth named Dinesh during a recent fire accident at a furniture shop in Nampally.
In a post on X, Sajjanar said Dinesh, a resident of Afzalgunj, displayed rare bravery during the blaze. He said raging flames filled the shop and victims cried for help. Yet, Dinesh did not step back and joined rescue efforts without hesitation.
The Commissioner noted that many people today stop to record videos during accidents. In contrast, Dinesh risked his own life to save others. Sajjanar said honouring him on Republic Day was a moment of pride.

Finally, the Commissioner saluted everyone who stepped forward during the crisis. He said their actions proved that humanity remained alive in Hyderabad when people united in times of distress.
‘మనుషులున్నారు కానీ.. మానవత్వం ఏది?’ అనే ప్రశ్నకు నిలువెత్తు నిదర్శనం దినేష్. అఫ్జల్గంజ్కు చెందిన దినేష్, ఇటీవల నాంపల్లి ఫర్నిచర్ షాపులో జరిగిన అగ్ని ప్రమాద సమయంలో చూపిన తెగువ చూస్తే.. మానవత్వం ఇంకా చనిపోలేదని అనిపిస్తుంది.
