Important to know (Mainly for ladies)

HI!
An incident took place in Mumbai - a young girl was raped by a man
posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her to come to the police
station when she and her male friend didn't have a driver's license to show.
He sent the boy off to get his license and asked the girl to accompany
him to the police station. Took her instead to an isolated area where
the horrendous crime was committed.

The law [which most are not aware of] clearly states that between 6 pm
and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station,
even if an arrest warrant has been issued against her. It is a
procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between 6 pm and 6 am, ONLY if
she is arrested by a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police
station. And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that
a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.

Please fwd this to as many girls you know.. Also to boys.. coz this can
help them protect their wives, sisters and mothers. It is good for us
to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use remains to be seen in
any situation. But as they say, knowledge is power.

I did not know this and am sure some of us don't ? please be
informed..

Hi,

You have really provided veryuseful information which most of us do not know. Atleast me. Specially with regards to the arrest timings. I believe that this will be veryuseful to most of us at certain point of time, atleast to tell someone in who are not aware of this.

Great Job

Dear Vivbas

Knowledge is Power.

We live in troubling times and need to know all there is to know to protect ourselves from exploitation. People , like us, who live in cities and are literate get to know of various laws but , sadly, less fortunate women remain ignorant. It is our duty to keep them informed too.

Thanks for posting this and bringing awareness.
