<strong>Youngsters are always enamoured by uniformed men and watch them with their dress and arms in complete awe. But a small boy of Bengaluru did something different which made him a darling of not just the forces but also the netizens and people as he on his own saluted a Central Industrial Security Force personnel.</strong></p>
<p>
This heart-warming scene took place at Karnataka&#39;s Bengaluru airport where a four-year-old Veer Arjun was walking hand in hand with his father towards the airport. On seeing a CISF on duty — stationed in a jeep — the child paused, turned to face the jawan and raised his hand in salute. This clipping on social media caught the attention of people and it went viral.</p>
<p>
The CISF personnel, standing in the jeep, raised his hand to salute the boy with a smile on his face. This video was shared on Twitter by Arjun&rsquo;s father, Arjun MS.</p>
