<h2>RPF heroics</h2>
In <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/articles/dadar-rpf-unites-lost-minor-children-with-father/20626188" target="_blank">March 2019</a>, Sub-Inspector Rekha Mishra and constable Diwan Singh were making the rounds on duty on Dadar's railway platform no 6, when they found two petrified minors weeping. According to the Railway Protection Force (RPF) of Dadar, the boy and girl were siblings. The boy told the police that as their mother was out of town, they were alone at home. The RPF took good care of them providing refreshments and soft drinks. The boy had his father's mobile number written on a slip, which Mishra used to contact him. The father then came to the RPF office in Dadar and after procedural formalities, the minor children were handed over to him.
