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.
"A boy whom even cancer could not scare, definitely deserves to be police station incharge," added Mumbai Police on Twitter.

On Twitter, wishes for a speedy recovery for the incredibly brave seven-year-old poured in, as did praise for Mumbai Police.
