Cop in Maharashtra helps 15 year celebrates his birthday when dad got stuck in US

Not only would Vatsal Sharma have to celebrate his 15th birthday during the lockdown, but he would have to do it without his father around. He had gone to the US on work, and wasn’t able to return in time when India suspended all incoming flights.

So Mr Sharma was surprised and touched that his father still managed to send him a birthday cake – through the police!

His father wrote to the local police, asking if they could wish his son a happy birthday on his behalf, so they turned up at the house, cake in hand, to do just that.

And Mr Sharma found himself cutting a cake on the bonnet of a police car, while the officers clapped and the happy birthday song blared from the car’s stereo.

Vatsal Sharma never imagined he would celebrate his 15th birthday like this
In the video tweeted by the police, Mr Sharma said, “This year the police made my birthday special. I loved it!”
