A recently surfaced video on social media has captured a daring rescue involving a Mahindra Thar ROXX that had fallen into a canal. Though the exact location of the incident remains undisclosed, what stands out is the quick thinking and selfless courage of two young men who risked their own safety to help the passengers trapped inside.

Rescue Efforts Caught on Camera

The video, originally shared on X, shows one of the men standing on the rear right side of the half-submerged Thar ROXX. As he struggles to open the door, he quickly shifts strategy and smashes the window with a barefoot kick—demonstrating the urgency of the situation and his determination to reach those inside.

Soon after, the second man joins the effort by attempting to open the same door from a different angle. Eventually, they manage to pry it open, and the rescue of the rear seat passengers begins. The first to be pulled out is a young girl, safely handed over to the people standing along the canal’s edge. Following her, more female passengers were seen being rescued one by one.

While the clip doesn’t show the full extent of the rescue or confirm whether all occupants were safely evacuated, the duo’s bravery has drawn praise online. The cause of the Thar ROXX ending up in the canal hasn’t been confirmed, though it’s suspected to be due to a driver error.

What to Do If You’re Alone in a Submerged Vehicle

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation without help nearby, follow these critical steps:

• Stay calm and act quickly
• Remove your seatbelt immediately
• Do not attempt to open the door; water pressure may prevent it
• Roll down or break the window to exit—keep a window breaker or emergency hammer in your vehicle
• If with children or others, help them exit first before escaping yourself
• Swim away from the vehicle and get to safety as fast as possible

Final Thoughts

This incident is a reminder of how unpredictable road conditions can be, and how vital presence of mind is—whether you’re the one in trouble or a bystander. The bravery shown by these young men highlights the importance of quick action in life-threatening moments. Carrying basic rescue tools in your car could make all the difference when seconds matter.
