Imp Knowledge about indian law for girls

Following is a mail circulated by the Pune Police. It states about alawwhich we really didn't know till date. Just thought We would share this with you. Because many people forgettorespect females as well as each other many times.An incident took place in Pune - a young girl was raped by a man posingas a plain clothes officer;he asked her to come to the police station when she and her male frienddidn't have a driver's license to show. He sent the boy off to get hislicense and asked the girl to accompany him to the police station. Tookher instead to an isolated area where the horrendous crime wascommitted.The law which most are not aware, clearly states that. between 6 pm and 6 am, a woman has the right to REFUSE to goto the Police Station, even if an arrest warrant has been issuedagainsther.. It is a procedural issue that a woman can be arrested between6 pm and 6 am, ONLY if she is arrested by a woman officer and taken toan ALL WOMEN police station.. And if she is arrested by a male officer, it has to be proventhat a woman officer was on duty at the time of arrest.Please fwd this to as many girls you know..Also to boys.. coz this can help them protect their wives, sisters andmothers.It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of useremains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge ispower.
