Bhopal: A 10 kg bomb tucked in his arms, a policeman sprinted 1 km to save 400 children who were in school when the unexploded artillery shell was discovered in Chitora village of Sagar district.

Still breathless from his cross-country run, head constable Abhishek Patel told mediapersons: "My only objective was to take it away as far from the children as possible. Far away from all residential areas." A 12-scond videoclip of Patel running with the bomb on his shoulder has gone viral. It uncannily reminds you of the iconic Forrest Gump running scenes.

There were about 400 children in the school when the bomb was found on Friday morning. It's not known who dialled 100 but police responded instantly. Senior teacher Ajay Kumar said, "Police saw the bomb and immediately asked us to close for the day, almost two hours early. We asked the students to leave at once."
