A mother chases a dream, 3 women in uniform sang her baby to sleep in Bengaluru

At Sri Krishna Degree College in Banashankari 3rd Stage, Bengaluru, three women police personnel (constables Lakshmi Kannanawadi, Girija, and home guard Vijaya) sang to and rocked an eight-month-old baby in a makeshift saree cradle during a police constable recruitment exam.

The baby's mother, Sunitha, traveled from Shivamogga to take the exam; after her child woke up and cried, police sub-inspector Manoj Kumar tried to soothe him for 20 minutes before the women intervened.

The women borrowed a saree from a nearby elderly woman, tied it into a cradle, and sang lullabies to calm the baby, who then fell asleep.

Sunitha completed the exam and found her son asleep when she emerged at 12:15 pm; she thanked the officers for allowing her to finish.

The incident was praised by senior police officers and the public after a video of it emerged.
