Working in Tiruvalla as saleswoman, Surpriya told Mathrubhumi, a local news outlet that initially she had helped the man move out of the way of a swerving vehicle.
“I asked him where he needed to go. I needed to know if there was a bus stop there. I thought my husband, Anoop, on his bike can drop him at the bus stand,” she said.
“Fortunately, the bus came and stopped a bit ahead. I ran to the bus and told the conductor who was sitting at the back about the blind person. I didn’t think the bus would wait,” she said.
