It was a busy day on Saturday in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, when a police car stopped near vegetable seller Salman Khan. After this, Salman Khan became tense when he saw Deputy Superintendent of Police Santosh Patel getting down from the car and called his name. Santosh Patel, now a senior police officer, had been searching for Khan for some time. Khan had changed since they last met, his body had grown thin and his appearance had deteriorated, but Patel recognized him by the mark on his lip.
ASP reached to meet the person from whom he bought vegetables 14 years ago
As soon as Khan saw him, he saluted, which made Patel smile. Police officer Patel asked, “Do you recognize me?” To which Salman replies, “Very well, sir,” “You used to come to get vegetables.” Sharing the video on his official X handle, Patel wrote, “I met Salman Khan during my engineering days in Bhopal. At that time I could not afford dinner, but Salman, who ran a vegetable shop, used to save one brinjal and one tomato for me every night. I used to make Bharta and taste it, for this I am thankful to him.”
Met Salman Khan while studying engineering in Bhopal. Understanding our feelings, he used to give us vegetables for free. When we met suddenly after 14 years, both of them were very happy. Forgetting the one who stood by us in bad times is no less than a sin. There should not be a single fault in a person, the person is ungrateful. no pic.twitter.com/FMTdOW5cBH

Salman said that he never thought that Santosh would miss him after assuming such a big position. Salman told that when he saw the police car for the first time, he got nervous, but when he recognized the police officer, his worries went away.
