A man who was trapped on a hill for two days in the Indian state of Kerala has been rescued, authorities said on Wednesday.
R Babu, who along with two friends had climbed Malampuzha’s Cherad Hill on Monday, got trapped between two rocks after he slipped.
Mr Babu was stuck alone as he had continued to climb to reach the top of the hill after his friends abandoned their efforts.
Images released earlier showed Mr Babu balancing himself between the two rocks.
The images had gone viral on social media as Mr Babu’s plight was compared to the 2010 movie 127 hours in which a man was similarly trapped in a canyon and had to eventually cut off his arm to free himself.
On Wednesday, Mr Babu was taken to safety after rescue operations by teams of the Indian Army.
Videos released by the Indian Army on social media showed Mr Babu being pulled onto the top of the hill.
“In a spectacular action, highly qualified Teams of Indian Army have successfully rescued Mr Babu who slipped off a cliff & was stranded in a steep gorge for over 48 hours,” said the Southern Command of the army in a tweet.
Mr Babu thanked the army for rescuing him. Images after his rescue show him sitting arm in arm with rescue officials and kissing them in gratitude.
