Nothing escapes police constable Rajesh Pandey’s eye. The attentive Malad cop foiled a 24-year-old woman’s attempt to pass her daughter off as an abandoned child after he noticed how attached the toddler was to her.

Versova resident Pooja Harikishan Lohat arrived at the Malad police station, claiming that a woman at a fish market asked her to keep an eye over her child as she relieved herself, but never returned. Illustration/Uday Mohite
