Hyderabad: A Telangana policeman saved the life of a distressed farmer, who had consumed poison, by carrying him on his shoulder for more than two kilometres. The incident took place in Betigal village of Karimnagar’s Veenavanka mandal of Telangana.

According to sources, this farmer consumed pesticide in his field following a domestic quarrel. Nearby farmers noticed his condition and called up the emergency services.
