In a world filled with despair and turmoil, sometimes we need a reminder that people can do wonderful things. And this time that dose of goodness has come in the form of this CRPF soldier who survived the Pulwama terror strike.
Iqbal Singh was one of the soldiers who was driving a vehicle in a convoy of the CRPF on February 14 in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama.
The video of this cop's act of kindness was posted on social media with the caption, 'an act that emanates only love.'
One Facebook commenter wrote, 'The jawan making child to [sic] eat food out of his own lunch box is a land mark step toward Community policing .The organisation need to take a lead from this gesture.'
'There is a need to have a paradigm shift in policing and this is a step in that direction,' the user wrote.
According to ANI, Singh was on duty at Nawakadal, Downtown, Srinagar, and was was having his lunch, that¡¯s when saw a kid who was hungry.
He gave his food to the kid only to realise later that the kid seemed to have ¡°paralysis¡± and was unable to eat by himself. So Singh fed the kid with his hands.
Singh was given a commendation certificate for the "humane and selfless act", the CRPF said.
In India especially, the police has to fight the image created: cops accepting bribes and being irresponsible. But that's not always the truth. Cops, too, can be good Samaritans, and the heroes the world needs.
In the past too, there have been multiple instances where police officers have gone that extra mile to help people in need.
B Gopal, a Police Home Guard in Hyderabad, bought food for an 80-year-old homeless woman and fed her himself.
In ywt another incident, a policeman in Madhya Pradesh, on duty for the Simhastha Kumbh Mahaparv, lifted an old woman up the railway station stairs.
