Wish Fulfilled! Two Bengaluru Boys Battling Cancer Made Police Officers For Few Hours, Netizens React

The Bengaluru South East Division on Saturday fulfilled the wish of two critically ill children who have cancer by making them police officers for a few hours. According to officials, the boys always dreamed of becoming top cops to serve society, which couldn't be fulfilled due to severe diseases that developed.

Two Bengaluru boys, Mohammed Salman and Mithilesh, were made Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) for two hours by the South East Division of the city's police. The kids wore police uniforms and stayed at the premises to witness how the administration functions.

The entire thing became possible due to NGO Make A Wish, which made the whole arrangement. It helped both the children to fulfil their dream of being police officers, reported Hindustan Times.

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Bengaluru South East Division, took to Twitter and expressed his happiness and satisfaction after making the dream of critically ill kids come true. "A humbling day as I stood in attention to DCPs for the day. Courageous children, who are fighting a difficult disease and we played a small part in making their wish come true, albeit for a few hours only. Happiness unlimited for them and satisfaction for us," he said.
