Delhi Police has initiated a slew of measures to improve response time for emergency incidents, but it is still hamstrung by practical hurdles
On December 16, 2012, a 22-year-old woman was gang-raped and brutally assaulted and later thrown on the roadside in south Delhi’s Munirka. That night, Delhi police officers took the victim, who was drenched in blood, to a hospital in a Police Control Room (PCR) van. The woman succumbed to her injuries a fortnight later but her trauma remains etched in the memory of the nation as the “Nirbhaya case”.
Nine years since the incident, nothing much has changed on the ground when it comes to rushing to the aid of an injured victim. On November 5, Rakesh, a 26-year-old man, died after being hit by a truck in south Delhi. His body lay on the spot for an hour and a half till it was finally taken to a hospital.
