We rarely acknowledge the sacrifices that police officers make for us. Whether it's working planned shifts or being called into duty for emergency responses, they do it all so humbly and place their duty above all else for the safety of others and to work towards ensuring a crime free city where its citizens feel secure. As an ode to the officers in the line of duty and as an industry first initiative, MX Player organized an engaging and interactive Virtual Meet & Greet event with Mohit Raina and 75 officers across ranks from the Sadar Bazaar Police Station in New Delhi and others who joined in from various cities across India.
Mohit Raina, who was been lauded for his role as S.S.P Naveen Sikhera, spoke about his character in the series as he enacted the efforts of the police to control the lawlessness in Muzaffarnagar in 2003. He bowled over the officers with his humble tribute that spoke about understanding the sacrifice and efforts that the officers make to keep us and the country safe.
This unique and momentous event was also streamed LIVE for numerous other officers and media across nearly 20 cities in India and it was a truly memorable day for the heroes of our nation as they received the much-deserved respect and honor on behalf of the entire country.
The event was also attended by esteemed members of the Delhi Police such as Commissioner of Delhi Police - Shri Rakesh Asthana, Special Commissioner of Police Law and Order (Zone 1) - Shri Deependra Pathak, Additional Commissioner of Police (Central Range) Madam Suman Goyal, Deputy Commissioner of Police - North - Shri Sagar Singh Kalsi, Additional DCP North - Ms Anita Roy, Additional DCP South West - Mr Amit Goyal, Additional DCP (2) North - Mr Chandra Kumar, ACP Sadar Bazaar - Ms Pragya Anand and the innumerable brave hearts of Delhi Police, across ranks.
Speaking about this event that honors the IPS brave hearts, Mohit Raina said, "I am proud to be a part of one of the finest and most successful crime series on the web. I'm truly overwhelmed by the love that the audiences are showering on us. Being given an opportunity to work closely with IPS officer Navniet Sekera for this role, I realised the amount of effort that goes behind the scenes to keep us and our country safe. Through this first of a kind virtual event, we wanted to thank our officers for their selfless services and acknowledge how they work relentlessly for the nation and the sacrifices they make in the line of duty. They're the true superheroes of the country and the entire team of Bhaukaal salutes their bravery."

This virtual launch is ideally located to honour our real heroes who toil on the ground. We are associating with MX Player for this event and the interaction with actor Mohit Raina who has so convincingly portrayed the role of one of our very own true soldiers has been rewarding.
