Russian molested by auto driver in Vasant Kunj, Delhi

A Russian woman taking an auto rickshaw to Vasant Kunj was molested by the auto rickshaw driver. He tried to change the direction towards the forest. She jumped from the auto richraw and cried for help, no one came except one person. The auto driver had already hit her and bitten her. When she jumped from the auto she had left her bag and that is what helped the police nab the driver.


There are two roads that go towards vasant kunj, nelson mandela marg and the forest area that goes reaches near fortis hospital. Even though the forest area has been considerably civilised, there is still scope for cavemen behaviour from the working class in Delhi.

For travelling to Vasant Kunj, always take the route that goes through Nelson mandela marg, never use the forest route.



These are just some of the safety concerns every women living in Delhi have usually taken. Another reminder of knowing the city always helps foreigners take vital life saving decisions.

Please always have a handy number ready for call at all times during the night. Avoid travelling alone at night.

In case you do not have anybody to call - NEVER FORGET THE POLICE NUMBER - 100

Japanese tourist raped for weeks near Kolkata

One gets to think that the last episode of rape must have been an eyeopener for the male population in India, but news like these makes me shameful of the Indian mindset.

A Japanese tourist was raped by 5 men near Kolkata, these men spoke Japanese and lured the girl to countryside outside Kolkata and repeatedly raped her. She then informed a few fellow Japanese she knew. The news brought the Japanese consulate into action and now the police have arrested the alleged rapists. It seems from the news that these men have done such things before. We really need to take action against such men. Even after the December 16th case the government has not learned a lesson and has not taken this matter as an important national priority. The country will not evolve and go further if such things are not changed immediately.



Our new prime minister has very good diplomatic relations with the Mr. Abe, current Japanese prime minister. How will he handle the situation in case this comes up in their discussion. He really needs make concentrated efforts to show that he is concerned about the safety of women in this country.

The fallouts are commonly known to most Indians- female foeticide,  lesser foreigners travelling India and a very ugly image of the country.

There is no point having computer geniuses, scientists, mathematicians, world class development if behind this whole mirage what lies is unspeakable. Female Rapes, Molestation, Patriarchal family status, underdevelopment of the girl child.

Precautions that one needs to take once in India are important and non-negotiable(NAKUMDDA):-






  1. NEVER go out with strangers outside safe vicinity - cafes, restaurants etc
  2. ALWAYS have a back up number for emergencies
  3. KEEP police contact number in speed dial - 100 ( no prefix, no suffix just plain 100)
  4. UNDER any circumstance drink anything that is not served in front of you
  5. MAKE sure you have contact information of the hotel always with you
  6. DO not share your personal details without being absolutely sure
  7. DRESS conservatively whenever travelling outside the metropolitan cities
  8. AVOID going out alone late at night.

Just follow NAKKUMDDA and you will find yourself much safer and in much better control of being in India and you shall actually enjoy your time travelling India.

Grim picture: Delhi most violent place in India, suggests national crime statistics

The Capital is the most violent place in India — even more than states affected by Left wing extremism and insurgency, data from National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) suggests.
Delhi not only have reported the highest rate of violent crimes in the country but also found to be more prone to violence than states such as Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) last year. The city reported 29 heinous crimes cases daily in 2013.
According to NCRB statistics, the Capital’s daily data of violent crime included 17 incidents of abduction, three robberies and rapes each and a case of murder and attempt to murder between January 1 and December 31, 2013.

Incidents such as riots and arson, too, were found to have been reported in Delhi every second day with every second criminal case to be registered at a police station in Delhi pertaining to violence.

“While Delhi reported 10,733 incidents of violent crime, Chhattisgarh recorded 6,857, Jharkhand 8,766, J&K 4,084 and Gujarat 8,951,” said a senior police officer, quoting the NCRB report.
“In Delhi, 1,245 robberies, 517 murders, 585 cases of attempt to murder, 1,636 rapes and as many as 6,294 cases of kidnapping and abduction were registered in 2013,” the officer added.
While the Delhi Police chose to dismiss these statistics as “mere figures bearing no actual resemblance to the threat or perception of crime on the streets”, they could not, however, deny that more than half the crimes that are reported in Delhi are of a violent and, usually, gruesome nature. The NCRB statistics say around 54.4% cases registered in Delhi are those of violent crimes.
Take, for instance, two recent incidents reported from south Delhi: the murder of a 20-year-old MBA student by his own friends in Vasant Kunj which was found to have been triggered by a complex love triangle and a brutal attack on a teenager by a man whom she had accused of molestation, and had dragged to court, in Vasant Vihar.


A comparison of Delhi’s rate of violent crime of 54.4% with that of other states is as telling as it is chilling: Violent crimes constituted only 27.4%, 27% and 33.95 of the total crimes reported in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and J&K, respectively.

Deepak Mishra, special CP (law & order) attributed the statistics to the registration of every case. “In Delhi, the protocol dictates the conversion of every complaint into a criminal case,” he said.

“We don’t contest these statistics but crime figures have been usually found to differ from the actual situation on the ground,” he said.
