Police Cradle Baby, Mom Takes Exam
2 Aug
Summary
- Three women police officers created a makeshift cradle.
- They sang a baby to sleep for his mother during an exam.
- The mother completed her recruitment test successfully.
During a police constable recruitment examination in Bengaluru, an eight-month-old baby's cries threatened to disrupt his mother's test. The child's father admitted he struggled to soothe the infant, prompting police sub-inspector Manoj Kumar to intervene. However, three female officers—Lakshmi Kannanawadi, Girija, and home guard Vijaya—took over, demonstrating remarkable initiative and compassion.
Using a borrowed saree, the officers created a makeshift cradle, rocking and singing lullabies to the baby until he fell asleep. This allowed the candidate, Sunitha, to focus on and complete her two-hour examination. The compassionate actions of the police personnel have been widely applauded, with DCP (south) Kona Vamsi Krishna commending their "humanitarian work" alongside their official duties.
Senior officers expressed hope that Sunitha would succeed in her examination and one day join the police force. The incident highlighted the dedication and empathy of the officers, fostering trust in the department.
