Delhi Police: Victims of obscene phone calls!


CAN YOU imagine or even think of any one disturbing the police with prank calls or perhaps obscene calls? Confused by my question? The Delhi police acknowledges a huge rise in obscene calls at the Central Police Control Room. The police has claimed to book many such miscreants.

The police said that it had started locating such obscene calls and miscreants because besides misusing the public facility, such calls were also creating nuisance to the attending officers, especially to the lady police officers. The police has provided this round o’ clock facility to the citizenry of Delhi to call on 100 number for immediate help but it’s a pity to see people misuse this facility for fun sake.

Some time back, the police had caught an engineering student, for making such calls on this number. And yet again, they have been receiving calls from a mobile number, so much so that the same number has been used to make 1981 calls in two months and 65 calls in a single night.

The engineering student caught by the police had been trying to propose the female operators at CPCR but on not getting any reply he turned utterly vulgar. So, when the things got too much out of control, the police tracked him down with the help of electronic devices available in the control room. The caller was located in the area of Paharganj and identified in the locality of Yog Maya Basti, Paharganj.

The modernisation of Central Police Control has made easy to find out or locate such miscreants. A case had been registered in Police Station IP Estate Police and the accused got arrested.

The DCP at the control room says that they had become very particular about such callers, who used this public facility for mischief and other undesirable purposes. These callers not only block the channels but also make the distressed callers trying to access the public assistance number suffer. “We have also started locating such callers with the help of Call Locating System and ACD, so that these miscreants will think twice before making any such calls,” added the DCP.
