UP Woman Names Newborn After Cop Who Helped Bring Her Husband Home Amid Lockdown

The lockdown to contain coronavirus has changed lives in ways we never thought of and in these hard times police across the country are doing their best to reach out those who need help.

Recently we heard of Delhi cops who fed two starving daily wagers who called them for help. Now again, in another heartwarming gesture, a Uttar Pradesh police went out of his way to help a pregnant woman.

Uttar Pradesh Police came to the rescue of a pregnant woman whose husband was stuck in Noida due to the 21-day nationwide lockdown imposed to contain the spread of coronavirus.

Tamanna Khan, 25, a resident of Bareilly, sent a video message to the SSP Bareilly Shailesh Pandey, seeking help as she was expecting her first baby while her husband was stuck in Noida.

The SSP reached out to the woman promptly and contacted the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Noida.

ADCP Noida Ranvijay Singh then made sure that the woman's husband reached Bareilly on time. Touched by the Singhs' timely effort to bring her husband close to her, Tamanna named her baby after him.

"Ranvijay sir now holds immense importance in our lives, despite so many responsibilities and in such times he personally went and met my husband and made sure that my husband reached Bareilly in time," said Ms Tamanna. "I did not have any hopes of getting any help while I was making the video. But Shailesh Pandey sir reached out to me and called my husband," she said.

"For me, cops are the real heroes, and I have named my child Mohammed Ranvijay Khan," she added while expressing gratitude for the help.

SSP Bareilly Shailesh Pandey told ANI, "I got the message through social media wherein Tamanna Khan has sought help from police. We reached out to her and subsequently requested Noida police to help bring her husband Anees to Bareilly from Noida."
