Gambhir to Fund Education for Slain J&K Cop's Daughter

'I will help you to live your dreams': Gautam Gambhir promises to Zohra for the lifetime.

The very patriotic off field avatar of Gambhir made another open promise today. He has very graciously extended financial support Zohra. She is the 5-year-old daughter of the assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of police, Abdul Rasheed. On August 28, Rashid died when militants fired at him at Mehandi Kadal in Anantnag district.

While on the field, the cricketer came to the rescue of the Indian cricket team, off the field too, he has shown his concern and support for political and social issues. In the past, he was outraged over the viral videos that showed CRPF jawans in Kashmir in a brutally abused situation by civilians. This time, a little girl stole his heart. He tweeted:

Zohra,I can't put u 2 sleep wid a lullaby but I'll help u 2 wake up 2 live ur dreams. Will support ur education 4 lifetime #daughterofIndia pic.twitter.com/XKINUKLD6x

Even social media too was deeply moved by the photograph.

Jammu and Kashmir Police is lending a helping hand too. They assured security to the grieving daughter with a heartfelt message on the Facebook by the DIG of South Kashmir.

"Your tears have shaken many hearts," read the emotional message from the police officers to Zohra. "Remember we all are one family at this critical phase. Every drop of your tear sears our heart. May almighty give us the strength to go ahead with our mission of rendering services for the betterment of the society," the message read.
