Hyderabad constables hold down prayer mats during Eid namaz
Two Kalapathar police constables kept wind from scattering worshippers' mats during Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in Hyderabad.
Two constables from Kalapathar Police Station, Venkatesh Naik and V Pratap Singh, helped worshippers at Eidgah Mir Alam in Hyderabad during Eid-ul-Fitr prayers in June 2017. The crowd was praying on the road using cardboard sheets, which the wind kept blowing away. The two men put the sheets back in place, and Naik placed his uniform cap on one to hold it down. A citizen sent the video to Hyderabad City Police and it was widely shared.
