Kochi, November 24
In a touching precedent of humanity, a woman police officer in Kerala came forward to breastfeed a hungry four-month-old baby while the infant’s ailing mother was hospitalised nearby.
The officer, MA Arya, is posted in Kochi Women’s Police Station. A mother of a nine-month-old baby, she stepped forward to breastfeed the crying baby, whose mother is undergoing treatment in the ICU of Ernakulam General Hospital.
The patient is reported to be a resident of Patna in Bihar. While her husband is reported to be in jail, the four children were brought to the Kochi City Women’s Station for assistance on Thursday as there was no one to care for them.
According to the police, the family had been staying in Kerala for quite some time. The officials said while police personnel in the station rushed 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 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.
