Anil Savne puts his life in danger to save Stranger.

On 3rd December2005 after doing a 12-hour shift at work,a delivery man in a two-wheeler showroom,got himself shot in the face trying to save two stragers from the thieves.Dr.Anjali Mudgaonkar of Lokmanya Tilak Hospital was sitting in her car outside the hospital chatting with a friend at 10.30 p.m.Suddenly a sturdy hand intruded her car through the window and tried to snatch her car keys..First she thought a friend was playing a prank,but as the man on the window whipped out a revolver she knew,she was in trouble.Soon another man appeared on the other side of the car and two colleagues were trapped.A voice shouted from behind:Whatthe hell are you guys doing?The robbers turned back and shouted:Get lost or be shot dead.Savne lunged towards the robber and held him by his shoulder shouting at him asking him to let go of the woman.An agitated robber removed the gun from Anjali's temple and the man in his face.Savne collapsed on the spot.Thinking that he had died ,the robbers ran away.Anjali and her rushed Savne to the hospital.The bullet had broken Savne's jaw and lodged itself in his neck.It took six-hour long operation by Anjali to get the bullet out andfix his jaw.For the next three months Sanne survived on liquids.Savne's wife Sujata was upset when she heard the news but was not surprised,as during their marriage of 10 years,he's done this often.
