A Bihar Police traffic constable in Patna used cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to revive a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) jawan who collapsed near the Mithapur Bypass, a clip posted by Bihar Police on X shows. The video, shared on March 22, 2026, captures the constable performing chest compressions on the unconscious man until he regained consciousness, after which the officer and a bystander helped him to his feet.
The footage, shot in the middle of a crowded street, shows the jawan initially struggling to breathe and then becoming unresponsive. The constable is seen delivering repeated chest compressions; after several seconds the man comes round. The officer and another person then rubbed the jawan’s feet to restore warmth and assisted him to stand.
Accompanying the video, Bihar Police wrote on X: “Bihar Police always with you. With you in every crisis, dedicated to you in every situation. Your safety, our topmost priority.” The post has since been widely shared and praised online.
Social media users lauded the quick action. Respondents wrote things such as “Hats off, keep up the good work” and “Well done, our Bihar might be changing,” while others urged wider CPR training: “Proper technique of CPR should be taught in all colleges, schools and everywhere.”
CPR is an emergency procedure used when a person is unresponsive, not breathing normally, or has no pulse. It combines chest compressions to circulate blood with airway management and rescue breaths to deliver oxygen until professional medical help arrives. Modern guidance commonly follows the CAB sequence-compressions, airway, breathing-and the technique has been refined since its development in the 1950s under guidance from organisations such as the American Heart Association.
The incident highlights the potential life-saving impact of bystander CPR and the value of basic emergency training for first responders and the public. The video underscores how prompt, simple actions taken before medical teams arrive can make the difference between life and death.
