Bengaluru city police have clarified that the message, circulating on social media, about free travel for women traveling alone at night if they call on the 1091 helpline number is fake.
A few days ago, some miscreants posted on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, suggesting that women who are out alone between 10 PM and 6 AM and unable to find transportation can call the helpline number 1091, and the police will provide a free ride home.
ALERT!! The message circulating about free travel for women from 10 PM to 6 AM is FAKE. Please rely only on official sources. In any emergency, dial #Namma112 for immediate help.#WeServeWeProtect
