Most of us have a dubious perception of cops, and many find it rather unbelievable that the police can also work with patience and kindness when a situation demands it. Of course, a lot of it is based on unjustified stereotypes, but much of it also arises out of facts.

However, regardless of which side of the scale you find yourself on, a recent incident involving the Kerala police has won over people’s hearts by tackling a school boy’s earnest complaint in the most compassionate way.

So recently, class 6th student Pavan Nash from Ernakulam in Kerala found out that the gooseberry tree he had been tending to for the past 2 years had been cut off by some unknown person. Pavan was heartbroken and angry over the matter, and that’s when his elder sister Pavithra, a class 10 student, along with their school teacher Harikumar urged him to contact Chiri, a Kerala Police initiative for children.

After Pavithra alerted her teacher, she also rang up the SPC nodal officer at her school -- Lobelia HSS, Nayarambalam. Next, the complaint was taken up with the police and they decided to intervene.

Soon enough, the cops visited Pavan bearing saplings of gooseberry, guava, and sitafal as well as a CCTV surveillance system to help him keep an eye on them in the future. Obviously, Pavan was ecstatic. Since the news broke, people have been applauding the Kerala police for handling the situation so sensitively.

A Kerala boy comes back home to find his gooseberry tree missing. He informs authorities. What happens next will make you smile. https://t.co/KV4tmnJn2a
