Suffering from severe illness, 10-year-old girl Sania's dream to become a 'police officer' was fulfilled by Raipur city police on Wednesday.
The police department made her dream come true on the eve of the auspicious occasion of her 11th birthday coming up on January 14.
During the programme, the departmental officials too treated her as a cop. It was an emotional moment for Sania's parents when her daughter sat on the chair of an Inspector.
Bheemlal Sahu's daughter Sania, who resides in Math Purena area, is suffering from severe illness with her both kidneys damaged and weak eyesight.
Being a police officer was Sania's biggest dream about which she always discussed with her parents.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) (Raipur Range) Pradeep Gupta decided to fulfil her dream to be a cop when the matter was brought into his notice.
Sania's father Bheemlal Sahu had earlier tried to buy a police uniform for her daughter for her birthday. The shop owner refused, asking Bheemlal to get a permission letter from the police department to buy police uniform. Bheemlal then visited IGP Pradeep Gupta's office asking for a permission letter.
Gupta when came to know of the touching story behind such a demand immediately decided to fulfil Sania's dream to be a 'cop'.
Wednesday afternoon came with lots of emotional moments for the departmental officials when Sania reached IGP's office. Earlier, a police vehicle had arrived at Sania's house to bring Sania to the IGP's office dressed in police uniform.
The departmental officials made her sit on the Inspector's chair. The officials had earlier arranged a cake cutting ceremony to celebrate Sania's 11th birthday at the IGP's office. Sania cut her birthday cake in the presence of her mom and dad.
During the function, IGP Pradeep Gupta, Superintendent of Police (Raipur) Dr Sanjeev Shukla, ASP Crime (Raipur) Ajatshatru Singh, ASP (IACUW) Varsha Mishra and several other departmental officials were present.
