The four children of the sick Patna resident, who had no one to look after them, were brought to the Kochi City Women's Station on Thursday in need of help.
The family had been residing in Kerala for a while, according to the authorities. They stated the spouse of the Patna woman is in jail at the moment due to a case.

Arya went beyond the call of duty by giving breast milk to feed the youngest kid, even as other police officers in the station helped to provide food for the three older children.

Later, the kids were moved to a childcare home, guaranteeing their well-being in a better setting, according to a police statement.
