Dream come true

Ten-year-old Sadiq always wanted to catch thieves and uphold the rule of law. He dreamt of sitting on the Police Commissioner's chair at his desk, sign important files, and give instructions to the orderlies. On Wednesday, all his dreams came true.

Clad in a well-ironed police uniform, replete with medals, honorary badges, shiny shoes, and belt embossed with the insignia of Telangana police, Sadiq assumed Hyderabad Commissioner's office.

Files were brought and kept on his desk for signatures. It was a day to remember for Sadiq who hails from Peddapalli, Karimnagar, and is terminally ill.

Sadiq's family came to know about the ailment five months back and since then he is undergoing treatment at state-run MNJ Institute of Oncology. Later, the family came in contact with 'Make a Wish Foundation', who decided to fulfil the child's dream.
