Apoliceman sitting under a tree while trying his best to console a crying baby, whose mother was writing an examination at a college, has won the hearts of millions as his photo went viral.

Father of two
According to Rajeshwari, the head constable, posted at the Moosapet police station, was on duty at Boys Junior College, Mahbubnagar, where the examination for selecting police constables was being held. While discharging his duty he saw a young girl trying to console a four-month-old baby crying for his mother.
“Earlier I had seen the mother leaving the baby in the care of the girl. When the baby continued to cry I decided to do my bit and tried to take care of him,” the officer said.
He said he was aware that the mother from a poor family was forced to bring her child to the exam centre as nobody was at home to take care of the baby.
“The mother is a post graduate but she could not get a proper job and now she has decided to become a police constable,” Rehman said.
Mujeeb-ur-Rahman is a loving father of two children. While his daughter is in high school final year, his son is studying medicine in China.
