Mangaluru Rural ASI Harish and Constable Vijay Kumar patrolling the highway noticed a broken down car on the road.
On enquiry, police were told that Siddik of Guruvayanakere was shifting his wife Shahida Banu, who was suffering from labour pain, to a hospital in Mangaluru for delivery when the car refused to go further due to technical snag. The police without thinking twice shifted the pregnant woman in a police vehicle.
The timely help from police to the pregnant woman came in for praise from all quarters. Mangaluru Commissioner of Police N Shashi Kumar felicitating both ASI Harish and Constable Vijay Kumar said; “The police personnel helped the woman to reach AJ Hospital. The woman delivered a baby boy. Both the mother and baby are healthy.”
“I appreciate both the personnel for their timely help. If they had not shown the concern and lent a helping hand, then both the mother and her child would have been in trouble,” he said.

Of the 10, two are in hospital while the rest are in home isolation. “The condition of all the staff are stable. I have been calling and verifying their condition daily,” he said.
