13 June 2012.

Junior national champion in trap shooting, Kynan Chenai, put his life-guard training skills to use and saved a life while camping in Panchmeshwar, Uttarakhand.

Along with his dad, Darius, NRAI president Raninder Singh and trap shooter Mansher Singh, Kynan was camping near the Indo-Nepal border.

Picnickers were caught in the current while swimming in river Sarayu. Kynan rescued one of them from drowning, two others luckily survived but two were swept away in the current.

The sight of the three youngsters screaming for help deeply struck the 21-year-old. By the time they reached the first guy, he was unconscious. But Kynan along with his dad managed to pull him out. For a moment, Kynan was afraid that the victim had died. But on checking his pulse, hope returned. He responded well to resuscitation and lived. But the other two died, a disappointed Kynan informs.

One of the two who died in the incident was the survivor’s brother. They were a group of five hailing from Delhi. Kynan didn’t get to know the person he saved as he was too shattered by the death of his brother and friend. After dealing with the police, the three survivors chose to quietly drive away.
