The sheer sight of CCTV cameras installed at several strategic locations at the Dadar railway station would certainly deter anyone with mischief on their mind. However, this does not mean that they would be caught in the act and the captured footage could be used as evidence against them in a court of law.

Close on the heels of a woman abandoning a six-month-old girl on platform six of the station, GRP officials announced that the CCTV cameras had captured footage of the woman who left the child behind.
