Thiruvananthapuram: As the India-West Indies match approached at Karyavattom Greenfield Stadium, an unknown woman was battling for her livelihood by the roadside, under the scorching sun.

Amidst the rush of selling Indian jerseys, she had left her child in the shade on the opposite side of the road, entrusting his care to a police officer named R Sabir. To prevent the child, sitting by the roadside, from wandering onto the road, Sabir, who was on duty from the Adoor KAP 3rd Battalion, found a solution.

He put on a cartoon on his mobile phone and handed it to the child. The child sat there quietly until his mother returned.

As images of Sabir and the child went viral on social media, countless individuals shared messages, praising Sabir.
