The incident occurred in Kaimkachch village of Rajasthan's Karauli.

Banne Singh, 26, had gone to the river to get water for his goats when a crocodile attacked him and grabbed his leg. His wife, Vimal Meena, was nearby and immediately sprang into action.

She used a large stick to hit the crocodile in hopes it would free her husband's leg from its jaws. But when the crocodile started dragging her husband deeper into the water, Vimal targeted the crocodile's eye.

It finally released its grip on her husband and the couple was able to make it back to safety.

Vimal was interviewed by the Dainik Bhaskar, India's largest Hindi-language daily newspaper.

"I did not think of my own life, I only thought of saving my husband's life. I thought my husband's life would be saved," Vimal says in the video.

Her husband was taken to Mandrayal Hospital for his injuries and is expected to make a full recovery, News 18 reported.
