Gurkha singlehandedly defeats 40 bandits

[Sankari]

Man of legend! Even platinum87 would think twice before taking on this guy!

Bishnu Shrestha, a brave Gurkha soldier in Indian Army, defeated 40 train robbers while returning home after a voluntary retirement. The Indian army, is going to awarded Bishnu with Sourya Chakra, Bravery Award and Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha medals during the Indian Republic Day celebration on January 26.

While in the train, Maurya Express from Ranchi to Gorakhpur, on September 2, 2010, 35 year-old Bishnu saved a girl about to be raped by the train robbers in front of her helpless parents.

After looting the train, when the robbers started to strip a 18 year old girl in front of him, he couldn’t contain his calmness. He took out his khukari and took on the a group of 40 robbers, alone. In the fight, he killed three of the dacoits and injured eight others. Remaining dacoits fled the scene to save their lives.​

Did he end up getting the girl though?

A gentleman never tells...

The guy did an amazing job but were none of the 40 bandits armed with a gun? If they were that goes from to

indeed!

“The girl cried for help, saying ´You are a soldier, please save a sister´,” Shrestha recalled. “I prevented her from being raped, thinking of her as my own sister,” he added. He took one of the robbers under control and then started to attack the others. He said the rest of the robbers fled after he killed three of them with his khukuri and injured eight others.

During the scuffle he received serious blade injury to his left hand while the girl also had a minor cut on her neck. “They had carried out their robbery with swords, blades and pistols. The pistols may have been fake as they didn´t open fire,” he surmised.

If the pistols were fake (and apparently this is not uncommon in India) that would explain a lot. OTOH, I suspect there are few people in this world capable of using a firearm effectively in cramped conditions against a rage-fuelled Gurkha...

It wouldnt be, because for all the issues the UK has, trains being robbed by 40 robbing rapists are not one of them.

There speaks a man who has never used public transport in Leicester.

Must have been horrible for the girl and parents though. Imagine sitting there helpless with your child being raped in front of you. :/

She wasn't raped, thanks to Mr Gurkha.

this man is right up there with Mr C Norris

Mr C Norris would beg for the privilege of paying large sums of money to lick this man's boots.

In recognition to his bravery, his regiment has given Bishnu a cash reward of Rs. 50,000 [£1.75p]

Just putting it into perspective...
