According to the tweet, the infant was choking on a safety pin that he had accidentally swallowed. His worried parents were out on the road trying to get the baby to a hospital. That’s when Kolekar spotted them and helped the worried parents reach KEM (King Edward Memorial Hospital) using his own vehicle. Thanks to the cop’s quick actions, the child received treatment on time.

“When in doubt, find your nearest cop!” this is how the department started their tweet and detailed the entire incident in the following lines.

People lauded the cop’s actions and shared various appreciative replies in the post’s comments section.

“That is amazing PC S.Kolekar!” wrote a Twitter user. “We are proud of you Mumbai Police,” commented another and many others replied expressing the same notion.

“Thank you Kolekar sir, for your wonderful action of saving a 14 days old kid’s life. Keep doing such good work,” tweeted a third. “And, who says that we don’t have angels on Earth. More power to Kolekar sahib,” wrote a fourth.

A few days ago, an SOS tweet from a lawyer about her broken prosthetic leg resulted in her receiving help from the Mumbai Police department. Following her tweet, the cops contacted her and took her to a clinic to get the broken prosthetic leg fixed.
