Meeting the specialised police unit has been an eye-opening exercise.”
After the meetup, head of the patrol team in Mumbai Kalpana Survase revealed that they discussed safety tips for women with the actor. “Women should note down the number of the vehicle while commuting. That way, they have the details handy to call the police. Also, one should consult (web) mapping service so that they know where they are heading. It also helps us in tracking them,” the police official said.
