The story of the policeman was shared on the official Twitter account of Firozabad Police. The caption when loosely translated from Hindi explains that the animal was zapped unconscious after coming in contact with high voltage cables. The cop then went on to administer first aid to save the animal’s life.

The post is complete with two images. While one picture shows the cop trying to resuscitate the monkey, other shows him holding the animal up after saving its life.

Since being shared, the post has gathered nearly 2,700 likes. It has also accumulated tons of comments from people. Netizens couldn’t stop appreciating the policeman’s gesture.

“Humanity first,” wrote a Twitter user. “Thanks a lot sir for helping this innocent soul,” expressed another. “Appreciable work done by UP Police,” shared a third.
