A heartwarming video shows a little boy saluting a Central Industrial Security Force or CISF personnel at Karnataka's Bengaluru airport. Four-year-old Veer Arjun was walking hand in hand with his father towards the airport when he noticed the CISF jawan on duty. The young boy paused, turned to face the jawan and raised his hand in salute, footage that has gone viral on social media shows. In response, the CISF personnel, who was filmed standing inside a vehicle, raised his own hand to salute the boy with a smile on his face.
The video went viral after it was shared on Twitter by Veer's father, Arjun MS. Mr Arjun told NDTV that the video was filmed by the boy's mother on October 18 at Bangalore airport.
