Being home alone the little children were playing around their house as well as on the terrace. While playing and running around the boy Ezhil slipped from the terrace and however managed to get clutched to the wall.
On seeing her brother hanging from the wall, his sister Kavi acted quickly and grabbed hold of her brother’s hands. Having the firm hold on her brother’s hand, Kavi raised alarm seeking neighbor’s help to save her brother.
The whole incident was captured by a neighbor on a mobile phone. Later, on knowing about the rescue, locals appreciated Salik for his valor towards saving the child.
