In a dramatic video that has gone viral on social media, one can see the man (photographer) is holding the woman with the help of an inflated tube and pulling both of them towards the shore with the help of a rope.
"At 7 pm I saw the woman sitting on the safety wall at Gateway of India. I saw that someone had fallen off. Called the constables & 2 women. I jumped into the sea, helped her wear an inflated tube & pulled her out. I just thought about rescuing her," said Gulab Chandra, photographer.
