A crocodile saved a woman’s life in the Ganga River in Unnao district. The rare incident involved Malti, a middle-aged woman who had entered the river after a heated argument with her husband. She had jumped in with the intention of drowning and ending her life.
Soon after plunging into the river, she spotted a crocodile nearby. Terrified by the sight, she abandoned her suicide attempt immediately. The sudden fear made her swim desperately towards the riverbank.
Woman Escapes and Climbs a Tree
The crocodile saved the woman’s life by forcing her to escape in fear. Somehow, she managed to reach the edge of the river. To protect herself further, she climbed a tree near the bank and remained there.
She spent the entire night perched in the tree in terror. The crocodile lingered in the water below, making her too scared to come down. Her repeated cries for help were finally heard by nearby villagers the next morning.
Police Rescue After Long Night
The villagers quickly informed the police about the unusual situation. A rescue team soon reached the spot and brought Malti down from the tree safely. She was found shaken and traumatised but grateful to have survived.
Police officials later confirmed that the crocodile’s presence indirectly saved her life. Locals described the incident as miraculous and unforgettable. Many even called it a “second life” for the woman.
Twist of Fate in the Ganga River
Ironically, the reptile she feared most turned into her saviour. Without the crocodile, her attempt could have ended in tragedy. This unusual twist of fate left the villagers deeply moved and reflective.
Officials have suggested counselling for Malti to help her recover from the traumatic experience. Her survival story has now become widely discussed in the district. The crocodile saved the woman’s life and gave her a second chance to live.
