How police won hearts with cakes, songs and sacrifice

"Could you please get a birthday cake for my son? It's his birthday and he is really sad," the father said. Insp Singh is not used to dealing with such requests, but these are no ordinary times. All shops were shut in his area, but he called a baker he knew and - luckily - a cake was available. "The happiness on the boy's face made everything worthwhile. My team and I forgot how tired we were," he says.
