On seeing headlight beams under the pond, he immediately used the mosque’s public-address system to alert villagers and call for help.
Within minutes, villagers responded, many jumped into the cold water, smashed open the car windows, and pulled all seven trapped passengers to safety. No fatality was reported.

Local cleric Abdul Hafeez praised the rescue, calling it “a true message of humanity.” Basit, interviewed by media, said: “We did not think about religion or anything else. The priority was to save lives.”
