Delhi:
He
grew
up
in
an
environment
surrounded
by
khakis
seeing
first-hand
the
miseries
faced
by
policemen
and
today
Bollywood
Superstar
Salman
Khan
dreamt
of
a
society
liberated
from
crime
where
everyone
live
in
peace
and
free
from
sufferings.
Shedding
light
on
his
childhood,
Khan,
who
plays
a
heroic
police
officer
in
his
blockbuster
Dabangg
2,
said
he
was
from
a
police
family
as
his
grandfather
was
Inspector
General
of
Police
in
Indore
in
Madhya
Pradesh.
"I
hope
crime
rates
come
down
in
the
capital.
They
should
not
go
up.
Education
should
bring
down
this
rate
and
I
hope
every
one
lives
happily
as
ever," he
told
the
gathering.
"I
just
hope
whatever
is
being
done
today
is
going
to
help
the
families
even
in
a
smaller
way,"
Khan
said.
The
mood
was
sombre
and
atmosphere
was
tragic
as
Khan,
who
has
donned
the
role
of
man
in
khaki
in
several
movies,
came
face-to-face
with
families
of
nine
personnel
of
Delhi
Police
whose
lives
were
snuffed
out
by
criminals.
The
Dabangg
star,
dressed
in
a
casual
suit,
spoke
very
little
at
the
gathering
but
took
great
care
and
time
to
spend
a
few
minutes
with
families
of
the
martyrs
at
the
Delhi
Police
General
Officer's
Mess
at
Mother
Teresa
Crescent
Road.
Handing
over
cheques
worth
a
total
of
Rs
3
lakh
to
nine
families
of
the
slain
policemen,
Khan
spoke
to
the
children
of
the
victims
and
their
family
members
and
even
obliged
for
a
group
photograph.
The
event
organised
by
Delhi
Police
brought
together
families
of
the
nine
policemen
who
lost
their
lives
while
on
duty
from
September
2010
to
November
2012.
Shivani,
daughter
of
Sanjay
Kumar
Vats
who
died
while
performing
duty
at
a
fire
blast
spot,
and
Prashant,
whose
father
Tanveer
Singh
was
shot
dead
by
anti-social
elements,
are
some
of
the
people
who
received
the
cheques.
