New Delhi: An e-rickshaw driver has shown his presence of mind that saved the lives of two minor girls (7 and 4 years old). A man boarded 20-year-old Bharamdutt Rajput's vehicle along with two young girls from Balaji temple at Vivek Vihar and asked to be dropped off at Chintamani Chowk in Jhilmil Industrial Area 2 km away. After a while when he heard one of the girls asking the man to drop them after giving them food, he sensed something was not right.
