Yeah because rapists tend to give victims time and opportunity to make a call... What good would this do to their poor girl when she was repeatedly raped and thrown out of the bus. And now she is abused again for PR goals. Makes me sick and tells me all about the priorities and etics of this startup.
The real problem? Why is New Delhi so particularly unsafe?
Poor policing and abysmal conviction rate that allows rapists often a free run.
"The police have their priorities skewed," complains B Arun, a journalist with a prominent newspaper. Theoretically, Delhi has a policeman for every 223 people, but what’s unstated is that most of their duty hours are spent on protecting the teeming number of political leaders who crowd the nation’s capital. Policing streets therefore is shoddy as is investigation of crime".
"It is very difficult to step outside after 5-6pm. Many people come from different parts of the country and they feel that they can do anything and can get away with it," she said. "If police take strict action against culprits, it can send across the right message. Crimes are increasing here because the perpetrators go scot-free."

Policing streets therefore is shoddy as is investigation of crime". Delhi is full of construction work (flats being developed by builders). The police are too busy fleecing the builders (who are financed by the politicians to buy land) to take our calls for help. At the same time, they are literally "in the pay" of these builders, so they listen to the builders in the case of disputes with other citizens.
