The state government forgot sub-inspector Sunil Waghmare, 34, who died in a road accident at Parbhani on March 29, but his batchmates ensured that his widow and two children weren't. And they have now given his family a reason to smile, raising R11.33 lakh for them.

'Touched by the gesture'
According to the police, Sunil's family members were eligible for insurance after his death as well as a job, but departmental formalities end up taking long, by which time the family is struggling.
