24th May 2019 will always be remembered by the people of Surat, Gujarat as a black day. This dreadful incident took the lives of 20 students (of the age group 14-17) and one teacher and injured more than 20 people. Many students were also seen jumping off the building to save themselves from the fire.

A video clip has since then, gone viral, which shows a fearless man, who has been identified as Ketan Jorawadia, trying to help students get out of the building safely. Widely circulated on social media, one can see that the young man first managed to climb out of the building and then onto the ledge of the third floor.

With smoke gushing out from the windows, the man at first tried to save a girl trying to climb down but was unable to catch her as she slipped and fell down.

However, he managed to help another girl get down from the fourth-floor window and onto the ledge. They then helped a third person escape the blaze by getting the person down safely on the edge of the building.

A Twitter user shared the picture of the brave man online and captioned it, "This boy is Ketan Jorawadia. He is the same boy who saved at least 2 girls from falling in Surat coaching fire. He could have easily saved his life. The fire & smoke was scary, instead this boy stayed at the 3rd floor & saved 2 girls from falling. Salute Ketan. You redefined bravery!"
