Normally Indians only watch crimes unfold. Thnakfully one persons action prompted other bystanders to join in and saved a life in Satara.
In a shocking public incident in Satara, 18-year-old Aryan Waghmale held a schoolgirl at knifepoint on a busy street, reportedly over a one-sided obsession. He threatened to kill her if she didn’t accompany him, creating panic among onlookers as the ordeal stretched on for several minutes in broad daylight.
While many bystanders hesitated, a doctor on the scene was the first to act—tackling him from behind. This prompted others to step in and help disarm him, ultimately rescuing the girl, who sustained minor injuries. He tried to flee but was caught and handed over to the police.
He has been booked under multiple serious charges, including POCSO, kidnapping, stalking, and the Arms Act. The case has sparked conversation around public response during emergencies and the need for better safety around schools.
