The incident took place on Saturday when passenger J Roy Chowdhury collapsed after complaining of chest pains near the Security Hold Area of the airport.

Sub-inspector Partha Bose took charge and rushed to help the passenger and saved his life CPR. CPR is an emergency procedure that combines chest compression with artificial ventilation. It is performed to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
