Cops play Good Samaritan, help sweeper marry off daughters

The staff of a police station in Jaipur took the responsibility of solemnising the weddings of two daughters of a sweeper.

The 39 staff members of Jaipur's Gandhi Nagar Police Station helped Dinesh with money and some necessary items in the wedding of his daughters, Sonam and Ajmer, that were solemnised on Monday night. The cops also did the 'kanyadan' (a Hindu wedding ritual).

Dinesh, his son and wife work as a sweeper in the police station and at other places for several years. He shared his concern about the getting his daughters married with Station House Officer (SHO) Nemi Chand a month back.

"Dinesh was concerned about the marriage of his two daughters. I discussed with the staff and we decided to cooperate and contribute as per our capacity," Chand said. "Necessary items were given for the weddings. The family is happy and we all are happy doing this."
