Beed: In a swift and life-saving response, Superintendent of Police Navneet Kanwat rescued injured victims of a serious road accident near Georai town on the Dhule–Solapur highway in the early hours of Tuesday.

He then arranged to shift them quickly to the Georai Sub-District Hospital for treatment.
According to police sources, the injured have been identified as Ganesh Baburao Shewale, his wife Sheetal Shewale and their daughter Priyadarshini Shewale, who sustained serious injuries. Their son, Sai Shewale, suffered minor injuries.
All the injured are currently undergoing treatment at the hospital.
Officials said that the timely action by SP Kanwat ensured that the victims received immediate medical care, which helped prevent further loss of life.
