Vishal Dadlani: Taking a cab alone at night? Take a picture of the driver, with the numberplate, & send it to a friend. Should act as a basic deterrent.
According to a recent compilation of data by Delhi Police, 616 rapes and 1,336 molestation cases were registered between January 1 and April 30 - a 36 percent increase in rape cases compared to around 450 cases registered in the same period last year.
