Other heart-melting incidents
There are many such incidents where policemen have gone beyond their call of duty to help people in trouble.

The policeman was a sub-inspector from Barkot Police Station named Lokendra Bahuguna.
In another incident, a policeman from Hyderabad won hearts after he was pictured feeding an old homeless woman lying by the road. The old woman was so exhausted by the scorching hea that the traffic policeman B Gopal had to feed her.
Another case where a brave policeman saved five people, including a 2-year-old baby from being lynched by a furious mob in Malegaon. After a WhatsApp message of an alleged child kidnapping went viral in the village an angry mob decided to take law into their own hands. Additional Superintendent of Police Harsh Poddar prevented the mob from swarming in the home where the family was being kept and saved their lives.
