Tendulkar thanks traffic cop for saving friend

Mumbai: Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar once again showed his human side as he met a traffic cop, who saved his friend after he had met with an accident.

The legendary right-handed batsman took to Twitter to laud the traffic cops and shared an elaborate note titled “The world is a beautiful place because of such people...”.

“Few days ago, a close friend met with a serious accident. By God’s grace, she is better now. However, it was the timely help from a traffic cop, which made the difference,” Tendulkar wrote in the note.

“He immediately took her in an auto to a hospital and applied real presence of mind – ensuring her severely damaged spine had minimal movement while travelling,” added the legendary cricketer, who has numerous world records to his name.

Tendulkar said he met the cop, who went beyond his duty, and thanked him for his help.

“I met him and thanked him. There are several people like him all around us – who go beyond the call of duty. The world is a beautiful place because of such people. When you see such people, take a moment to thank them. We may not know it, but in their own way, they strive to make a difference in peoples lives. Silently,” said Tendulkar.
