    FIGHTING ALONE WITH THREE ARMED ROBBERS IS A VERY STRANGE THING, THIS TAXI DRIVER SHOULD BE REWARDED FOR HIS BRAVERY.

    This brave human being should be protected from that unlawful robbers because those rascals may try to take revenge from that innocent person. This is because nowadays even politicians don't show any value for human beings and they along with their supporters freely hitting people and killing people. The law and order in the country not in sound stage.
