She told ANI, "Children suffering from cancer lose their hair and face psychological distress. I did this in order to help them. I have done it earlier too."

She is an officer in Irinjalakuda, Thrissur. 

By her heart-warming act, she has not only donated hair for those who need it but also tried to comfort many who lose their hair after rigorous aggressive chemotherapy sessions.

Kudos to the lady cop!
