What happened

The 7-month old had miraculously survived a car accident which left her relatives including her parents injured and her elder sister dead.

The family was returning to their home in Kayankulam of Alapuzaha District on Tuesday morning when their car crashed onto a truck.

The collision left the family's eldest daughter dead and five other occupants on the vehicle injured.

They were taken to a local hospital where they were given first aid.

As the parents were admitted to the hospital, the toddler began crying profusely and Suresh who was on duty at the Police Aid Post took the girl and consoled her.

According to the police, Suresh took care of the baby till the relatives arrived.

The video of the kind gesture by Suresh was shot by a social worker who was at the hospital and posted on social media.

While Suresh's action has won praise from both the Police and from the public, it has not been the case always.

Not the first time

Recently, a civil police officer was suspended in Kerala for taking a step that he thought will be helpful for the public.

Civil Police Officer PC Raghu, posted at the Kalamassery police station in Ernakulam district took the initiative to provide refreshments for the public coming there.

Under Raghu's initiative, the cops raised money to install a coffee vending machine and RO water dispenser at the station.

But in a cruel twist of fate, Raghu was handed a suspension order by DCP Aishwarya Dongre IPS for not seeking prior approval from the seniors for installing the vending machine and talking to media without approval.

However, local media quoting other cops reported that the suspension was the result of not inviting the DCP for the inauguration.
