Delhi cop drives BPO girl to safety

He has set a precedent that other cops would do well to follow. Amit Bhardwaj, a sub inspector (SI) posted with Malviya Nagar police station in south Delhi escorted a call centre employee to her home after he noticed that no security guard was present in her office cab. 

The incident took place on the night of February 22. A senior police official said that it was around 3.10 am when Bhardwaj was on patrol duty. He was riding a bike along with another cop in the area. A few other cops had also been deployed in the area. They spotted a Tata Innova car of a call centre in which a girl was travelling with no security guards present. 

Comprehending the gravity of the matter the cab was intercepted by cops and the driver was interrogated. Vijay Kumar, the driver told the SI that he was taking the girl to office from her home in Munirka. Vijay seemed perturbed when the SI asked him about the absence of security guards and why he had picked up a female employee first instead of a male.   

"What will you do if some armed assailants strike all of a sudden? The situation can prove far more dangerous for a female worker," Amit told the driver. The sub inspector then spoke to his SHO, Jarnail Singh and narrated the whole story to him. Amit was then asked by his senior to take the woman back to her home safely and to take action against the cab driver. Amit took two other cops with him and rushed the girl to her home in Munirka. They used the BPO cab for the trip.
