The baby cried continuously with hunger and the man called 112, where the police control room responded immediately. SN Padu Sub-Inspector B Srikanth and woman head constable Parameswari immediately rushed to the spot and fed milk to the infant. In a similar incident in Annammaiah district, woman constable Amaravati of Mannur police station took responsibility of a four-year-old month infant while the mother appeared for the examination.
