New Delhi, October 19: Delhi Police has received over 11,000 complaints from women that they have got objectionable calls or SMS in the last ten months.
A total of 11,027 calls were received at the ‘Anti-Obscene Calls Cell’ set up by Delhi Police’s Crime Branch between December 20, 2008 and October 15 this year.
“Of these complaints, action has been taken in 10,130 cases,” Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal told reporters here.
The cell was set up in December last year after it came to notice that some people were harassing women by sending obscene, lewd or provocative text messages and making calls.
Women can complain about such calls on a toll-free helpline 1096 or call 011-27894455. They can SMS the complaint to 0-9911135446, fax to 011-27292523 or email to acp-sit-dl@nic.in.
