A woman has the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station between 6 pm and 6 am

An incident took place in Pune, India - a young girl was attacked by a man posing as a plain Clothes Police Officer. He asked her to come to the police station when she & 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 Indian 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 6pm and 6am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer & 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 share this link with as many girls you know. Also to boys coz this can help them protect their wife, sisters and mother. It is good for us to know our rights. Do not neglect, share with your entire buddy list.

Switch off your mobile phone in Flights to stop air crash

The cabin crew repetedly announce to switch off your cell phones on board in a flight. There is a reason for it. If you keep the cell phone switched on, it tries to search for signal and interfears with the Navigational system of the flight. This is a prime cause of many air crashes causing death of many lives.

Friends, please take it as a serious note to swirch off you cell phone in flights. Also spread this message to your friends and relatives. Be a cause for awareness among our fellow people!
