Passengers panicked and cried for help as the bus slowed. Dhaware and Nimgire rushed to the spot, pulled the unconscious driver out with the help of commuters, and laid him on the footpath. Dhaware immediately performed CPR, reviving Ambure within minutes.

Without waiting for an ambulance, the officers arranged a rickshaw and ensured that Ambure was admitted to Pune Hospital for treatment, where doctors confirmed that the prompt response had saved his life.
