7-Year-Old Cancer Patient Was Cop For A Day, Thanks To Mumbai Police

New Delhi: On Thursday, a seven-year-old cancer patient from Mumbai finally fulfilled his wish of becoming a cop. Arpit Mandal was made police inspector for a day at Mumbai's Mulund police station. Heartwarming photos tweeted by Mumbai Police and news agency ANI show the young boy dressed in khaki and flanked by police officers as he sweetly salutes and sits behind a desk - a wide grin on his face.

"Mulund Police Station was completely won over by the undaunted spirit of 7 year old Arpit Mandal, fighting cancer! If we could, we would fulfill all his wishes beyond just being a Police inspector for a day," tweeted Mumbai Police on Friday.

What a noble gesture from Mumbai Police! Kudos to you. I wish n pray someday this boy grows up to be healthy young man and he becomes a police station incharge not for one day but for many years. That is my wish to this young brave boy. God bless him and cure him asap.

Brave hero Arpit mandal..
You are braver than you believe,
Stronger than you seem,
Smarter than you think,
And twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined.

Arpit was made a cop for a day with the help of Mumbai Police and Make-a-Wish India foundation. The NGO helps grant wishes of children battling serious illnesses. 

In 2015, a five-year-old recovering from blood cancer got to be a police officer for a day at Mumbai's Bhoiwada police station.
