LAW : Important

Woman Arrest Law :
An incident took place in Pune - a young girl was attacked by a man
posing as a plain clothes officer; he asked her 2 come 2 the police station when
she & her male friend didn’t have a driver’s license 2 show. He sent the boy
off 2 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 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 fwd this 2 as many girls you know.
Also 2 boys coz this can help them protect their wife, sisters and mother. It is
good for us to know our rights.
