Rajat Kumar, Who Saved Rishabh Pant In Deadly Car Accident, Fights for Life After Suicide Attempt
In an unfortunate incident, Rajat Kumar, the 25-year-old hailed as a hero for rescuing Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant from a burning car in 2022, is battling for life after trying to die by suicide along with his girlfriend, Manu Kashyap, by consuming poison.
The incident occurred on February 9 in Buchha Basti, a village in Muzaffarnagar district, Uttar Pradesh.

Going by the reports, the couple took this extreme step after their families refused to accept their relationship as they belong to different castes. Their parents had reportedly arranged marriages for them with different partners, leading to distress.
While Rajat Kumar remains in critical condition at the hospital, his 21-year-old girlfriend succumbed during the treatment. Following Manu's death, her mother filed a police complaint, accusing Kumar of abducting and poisoning her daughter. The police have launched an investigation into the matter.
The Hero Who Saved Rishabh Pant
Kumar shot to national fame in December 2022 when he, along with Nishu Kumar, saved cricketer Rishabh Pant from a deadly accident. Pant's Mercedes had collided with a divider near Roorkee and caught fire when he was on his way to Uttarakhand from Delhi.
The two factory workers rushed to the scene, pulled Pant from the wreckage, and arranged immediate medical help. Their selfless act of bravery was widely praised, and as a token of gratitude, Pant later gifted them scooters.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances leading to the suicide attempt, including the allegations made by Kashyap's family. Meanwhile, Kumar continues to battle for his life in the hospital.
