A CISF constable proved to be an "angel from heaven" for the father of a girl who says he will be able to conduct his daughter's wedding only because the former came to his aid and fought off robbers who had tried to snatch away his life savings.

Firoz Khan,55, says he owes his daughter's happiness to CISF constable Bhanwar Lal Choudhary, who thwarted an attempt by bike-borne miscreants tried to make off with a bagful of valuables worth Rs 3 lakh for the wedding.

The incident took place on Dec. 2 when Khan, a resident of Old Seelampur, and his wife were returning home with gold and silver jewellery worth Rs 1.50 lakh and cash of Rs 1.40 lakh for the wedding next month of their daughter Nagma.
