A video of the event — shared by the officer himself on social platforms — shows Kumar calmly helping the man step by step, even as other commuters looked on in surprise. The caption read: “Madad ke liye rupay nahi, madad waala dil chahiye” (You don’t need money to help, just a heart that cares).

Social media users wrote that the incident was a “powerful reminder of how single acts of kindness can make a big difference,” while others called on citizens and officials alike to follow his example.
Although not required to act beyond his official responsibilities, Officer Kumar’s quiet yet profound courage has struck a chord with people across the country — reinforcing the belief that compassion remains central to public service.
