Madhya Pradesh Health Minister Tulsiram Silavat on Friday played the good Samaritan when he spotted an injured man lying on the roadside.
Vinod Rao (29) was lying unconscious on Indore-Sanver Road with his motorcycle next to him, apparently after meeting with an accident.
Silavat, who was traveling in a convoy, saw him and stopped his car, an official said.
The minister took him to a nearby private hospital.
Rao was now out of danger, the official added.
