According to reports, the baby’s mother– a resident of Bihar’s Patna– was undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Ernakulam General Hospital in Kochi. The ailing Patna resident’s four children, left with no one to care for them, were brought to the Kochi City Women’s Station for assistance on Thursday.
The infant kept crying incessantly due to hunger as the mother was indisposed. Witnessing this, officer Arya stepped forward and breastfed the crying baby, managed to pacify the child and ultimately lulled it to sleep.
The Kochi cop’s touching display of compassion was captured on camera and the video has gone viral on social media platforms with users lauding the policewoman’s motherly attitude and compassionate nature.
According to the police, the family had been staying in Kerala for quite some time. They said that the Patna woman’s husband is currently in jail in connection with a case.
While police personnel in the station pitched in to provide food for the three older children, Arya went above and beyond her call of duty by offering breast milk to feed the youngest one.
The city police praised Arya’s deed.
The children were later shifted to a child care home, ensuring their well-being in a more suitable environment, a statement issued by the police said.
The police also shared a picture capturing the moment when the officer comforted the baby.
