Beware girls

HI ALL

An incident took place in Pune - 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 of us 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 any female they see in the same position.



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.
