“As soon as a woman's distress call is received, it is transferred to the PCR van nearest to the victim's address. The area police station and top officers are informed,” Additional Commissioner of Police A.K. Ojha told IANS.
Ojha said this was the normal process to handle distress calls, but since the gang-rape incident, all major women-related calls are being transferred to the deputy commissioner of police (DCP) or additional commissioner of police's offices.
Five men and a juvenile gang-raped and tortured the woman in a moving bus Dec 16 in south Delhi. She died Dec 29 in a Singapore hospital where she had been airlifted for specialised treatment.
After the outrage, five policemen, including two senior officers, were suspended for dereliction of duty.
