Watch: IAF rescues student trapped in Nandi Hills
Date: February 21
Location: Chikkaballapur
It was the last thing 19-year-old Nishank expected when he went trekking in Karnataka's Nandi Hills on February 20.
The Bengaluru-based engineering student -- who was trekking alone -- fell 300 feet from a steep cliff.
Luckily, he landed on a rocky ledge with his presence of mind intact.
He called the police and shared his location.
The police rescue team, supported by the State Disaster Relief Force and the National Disaster Relief Force, rushed to help but did not succeed in rescuing him.
They reached out to the Indian Air Force, whose nearest base is at Yelahanka, which is about 45 km away by road.
An Mi-17 helicopter was immediate dispatched and, with guidance from the ground by the Chikkaballapur police, the daring mission was successfully executed.
