Timely Action by Rachakonda Police Prevents Tragedy in Yamnampet
Swift Rescue by Rachakonda Police Saves Distressed Student’s Life in Yamnampet
Hyderabad, June 27, 2025 — In a dramatic and emotional late-night operation, the swift rescue by Rachakonda Police saved the life of a student in crisis. The incident took place on the night of June 26, 2025, near Yamnampet in Ghatkesar Mandal, when a distressed student attempted to end their life by jumping into a quarry near the ORR service road.
Thanks to the timely and courageous action of officers from the Rachakonda Commissionerate, including the patrol team and the Disaster Response Force (DRF), a potential tragedy was averted.
Emergency Alert Through Dial 100
At precisely 23:32 hours, the police control room received an urgent Dial 100 call. The caller reported that a student, suffering from disappointment and mental distress, had jumped into the water at a quarry near the ORR service road in Yamnampet.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, the Rachakonda Police Control Room alerted officers across divisions. What followed was an inspiring demonstration of coordination, speed, and empathy.
Search Operation Initiated Immediately
Responding within minutes, NDRO B. Satyanarayana, Station House Officer (SHO) of Malkajgiri, took the lead. He was joined by NZO Inspector Manmohan, NRO Officer Sri T. Srinivas Reddy (HC-2885), and the Patrol Mobile Staff of the Rachakonda Police.
The team reached the spot promptly and began a search operation in complete darkness. Using handheld lights, rescue ropes, and communication equipment, the officers scanned the area and finally located the student — stranded at the edge of the quarry, surrounded by water and unable to move or swim back.

A Race Against Time
The situation was highly risky. The student was at the brink of hypothermia, disoriented, and physically exhausted. The officers assessed that any delay could result in a fatal outcome due to either drowning or shock.
Recognizing the urgency, the police quickly contacted the Disaster Response Force (DRF), which mobilized its expert rescue team to the location. In coordination with the police, the DRF team used safety gear and rescue harnesses to reach the student and pull them to safety.
Emotional Reunion with Family
Once rescued, the student was provided first aid and reassurance by the police personnel and DRF team. Emotional and shaken but physically unharmed, the student was then safely handed over to their parents, who were overwhelmed with gratitude.
The officers took time to counsel the family and offered contact information for further mental health support, demonstrating the sensitive and humane side of modern policing.
Police Speak Out on Mental Health
Speaking after the operation, SHO B. Satyanarayana stated,
“This incident is a reminder that we must remain alert and responsive to mental health challenges, especially among students. We are proud of our team’s swift action and thankful the student is safe.”
The Rachakonda Police Commissionerate emphasized that all citizens—especially youth—should know that help is just a call away. The Dial 100 service is active 24/7 for emergency response, and the police are trained to handle even delicate emotional crises.
Praise from Citizens and Officials
Social media was flooded with praise for the heroic and compassionate efforts of the Rachakonda Police. Hashtags like #Swift_Action, #RachakondaPolice, and #SavedByTheForce began trending locally.
Citizens and public figures lauded the presence of mind, urgency, and empathy shown by the team. Videos and images of the search operation captured the attention of thousands online, symbolizing public trust in law enforcement.
Preventing Future Tragedies
The department has since reiterated its commitment to mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Officers are now being equipped with mental health first aid training, and partnerships with NGOs and psychologists are underway.
The Commissionerate is also considering the creation of a dedicated response team for emotional crises, modeled on the success of this rescue.
“It’s not just about law enforcement—it’s about saving lives, building trust, and offering support in dark moments,” said a senior official.
Encouraging Open Conversations
Mental health professionals have used the opportunity to advocate for open conversations in families and institutions about emotional distress, depression, and stress among students.
Schools and colleges in the region are being advised to implement regular counseling sessions and identify early signs of mental distress among students.
Conclusion
The swift rescue by Rachakonda Police on June 26 is a shining example of how alert policing, teamwork, and empathy can save lives. In a world where mental health challenges are rising, such responsive action inspires confidence and shows that with the right systems in place, every life can be protected and valued.
For the student, this was a second chance. For the community, it was a reaffirmation that the Rachakonda Police is not just enforcing law—they are guardians of life, hope, and humanity.
