Last month, ‘Make a wish foundation’ helped a 7-year-old child in Mumbai to become a Police Inspector for a day in ‘Mulund police station’.
The netizens have lauded the initiative. It gave the Police a chance to reconnect with the public in close quarters. This reason was convincing enough for the police Commissioner M.M Bhagwat who gladly abdicated his seat to six-year-old for a day, reports NDTV.
The reaction of Dudekala Ishan’s family
NDTV reported that family and friends of the child who were present throughout the ceremony were ecstatic. They clicked pictures and made video recordings of the whole event. The day was certainly one of the most cherished event in the child’s life.

The initiative not only fuels trust building amongst the common masses but also humanises power. The Logical Indian community commends both Rachakonda Police and Make a Wish Foundation.
