10-year-old Sadiq of Hyderabad got his wish to be police commissioner for a day

Little Sadiq wanted to be police commissioner for a day. The 10-year-old, who has cancer, got his wish on Wednesday.Looking the part in khaki uniform and a cap, he beamed with pride when police officers of Hyderabad saluted him, their "chief" for a day. He "signed" papers, addressed a news conference and also had a snappy salute for the cameras, baton tucked under one arm.Sadiq, who is from Karimnagar, has many relatives in the police force. So it was no surprise when he told "Make a Wish Foundation" - a voluntary organization that works with terminally ill children - that he wanted to be police commissioner.

"I want to maintain peace and catch rowdies," he told a crowd of reporters, dwarfed by his seat.Hyderabad police chief Mahendar Reddy readily agreed to step aside for a day, saying he felt happy to fulfill little Sadiq's wish.
