An exemplary police officer

Recently, a photo went viral on social media showing an on-duty female police officer providing first-aid treatment to someone who was involved in an accident near the Mahakhali flyover area. Sub Inspector Sobnom Akter Popy, when she heard of the accident, had immediately rushed to the spot.

She herself drove the bus, which had caused the accident, to clear the congestion and allow other vehicles to move ahead.  She also rescued an injured staff and provided him with first aid treatment, and then sent him to a nearby hospital. 

What SI Shobnom did was exemplary. Had most police officers been like her, perhaps the public perception about law enforcement agencies would have changed altogether.
