In unique initiative to enable prompt action against roadside romeos, Hadapsar police station makes senior cop's cell number public so that victims can message details of offenders on the spot

The increasing menace of eve-teasing in and around Hadapsar has prompted the in-charge of the police station there to come up with an innovative mechanism to deal with the offenders. With victims not willing to come forward as they fear a backlash from offenders, who often hail from well-to-do backgrounds, Hadapsar police station in-charge Pandharinath Mandhare decided to take the onus on himself to track eve-teasers.

Mandhare has made his cell phone number public, appealing to victims to send a text message giving the date, time and the description of the tormentor. He has also appealed that in case the offenders are on a two-wheeler or four-wheeler, then the number of the vehicle should also be messaged. PI Mandhare has instructed all his officers to check any such incident after he receives a call or an SMS.
