Anurag Singh’s bag was waterproof and had matches inside. He lit a bonfire to keep himself warm and then climbed a tree to escape from the wild animals. After spending the night atop the tree, he left the next morning hoping to find a way to human habitation in a nearby forest. “He told us that he roamed inside the forest all day long but could not find a way out. Eventually, they spent another night in the forest, lighting a bonfire and sleeping on top of a tree,” said Rawat, who is in charge of the Saptarishi outpost in Haridwar.
Singh resumed walking in the forest the next day on Saturday and ended up in a stretch of forest opposite Shadani Ghat in Haridwar. He lit the fire again to warm himself and also hoped that someone would notice the smoke and reach it. This time he was lucky as the police saw smoke from the fire. “We went to the area from where the smoke was coming from the raft and saw him waving hysterically, asking for rescue,” Rawat said.
“He was trembling and hungry when the water police caught him. We helped him change his clothes and eat something,” Rawat said, adding that Singh “was terribly shaken by the exam, but otherwise safe and sound, and was sent back to his home in Bijnor.”
