Kolkata cop teaches homeless child on footpath during duty

Kolkata Police Sergeant Prakash Ghosh, a former schoolteacher with an M.Ed degree, has been tutoring Akash Raut — a homeless boy living on the pavement near Gariahat — during his traffic duty hours. After Akash's father died and COVID widened his learning gaps, Ghosh stepped in, helping the child rediscover interest in studies.
