In a video on X, the police officer who was wearing his uniform put his hand around the girl's ears and started mumbling. Even though what he was saying could not be heard, it is assumed that the officer was praying for healing.

After praying for a while, the officer who was squatting stood up and spoke to the girl. He asked her to repeat what he said after him.

The little girl repeated it, but it was not audible and fluent enough, so the police officer put his hands around her ears again and continued to pray.

When he had prayed for a while, the police officer asked the little girl to repeat the first three numbers after him. He then went ahead to pray for the little girl while other children watched.

At a point, she could repeat the first five numbers after the police officers. The children present were amazed that the girl with a hearing impairment was speaking.

One of the older girls who was watching while all this was going on could not contain her amazement. She smiled broadly and covered her mouth with her hands to express her bewilderment.
