The Delhi Police on Sunday stated that it is considering new initiatives for the safety of women commuters, involving the traveller sharing a picture of the vehicle concerned on a police server.
According to reports, Delhi Police Commissioner BS Bassi has asked Special Commissioner (Operations) Sundari Nanda to explore the possibility of having a system where a woman can click a picture of the number plate before boarding an auto or cab and send it to the police.
The system would automatically delete the photo after three days if no complaint about the journey is made.
This initiative comes after a 27-year-old girl was raped by a driver of the radio-cab company Uber Cab in the national capital in December. The victim, who works in a finance company in Gurgaon, had hired the taxi to go back to her home in Northwest Delhi.
