Sikh man who removed turban to save boy receives new furniture as thank-you from community

Sikh man who removed turban to save boy receives new furniture as thank-you from community

Earlier this week, we shared the viral story of a Sikh man who removed his turban to save the life of Daejon Pahia, 6, who had been hit by a car.

According to TVNZ, in the days since 22-year-old Harman Singh’s story made headlines, “karma has come back” to reward him for his good deed.

Singh, from India, is currently living in Auckland, New Zealand, taking a business course. When a news channel visited his home in the days following his significant gesture, viewers were upset to see that his home was sparsely furnished.

Singh’s flatmate, Ravi, and a local furniture outlet decided to do something about it: they surprised him with a van filled with furniture, rendering Singh temporarily speechless.

“We got you some furniture!” Ravi yelled. “A lounge suite, a bed and a coffee table, for all the good that you’ve done.”

“Thank you, thanks a lot. I’m very happy,” Singh said, moved by the unexpected generosity. "Is this… it’s the biggest surprise of my life.”

Earlier this week, Singh was reunited with Daejon at Starship Children’s Hospital.

“I am just so happy to see him — he is such a very brave guy,” Singh told Daily Mail Australia.

“He is doing well and is stable, but he was so shy when I would enter the room.”

“He has lots of toys there with him,” he added. “His mum and dad were so happy to see me and told me lots of times ‘thank you.’”

Daejon is recovering well from the accident.
