The power within

Crime can happen anywhere with anyone, that is what we all are afraid of when we live in a metro like Delhi. Not only rapes but robbery, forgery, molestation, homicide which spares none. It’s not every day that we consciously read or discuss safety measures though being alert and informed can help in the long run to keep the society and our loved ones safe.

Savdhaan India, a documentary-drama which focuses on India’s ‘Fight for Justice’ against crime had its city tour with one of its anchors. The show aims to create awareness by featuring real life cases.  This season, they are focusing on informing viewers about various precautions to be taken through engaging crime stories. The main idea is to make people aware and cautious without making the criminals look like the heroes.

According to the National Crime Records Bureau, New Delhi accounted for 10.1 percent of crimes from 53 major Indian cities. In an attempt towards raising consciousness, anchor of the show Hiten Tejwani reached out to Delhites with the message - ‘Power is within you.’
 ‘Crime rate in Delhi has reached an alarming level. In various cases, we have seen how people have united against an act of crime. Through the second season, we want people to realise that the power is within each one of us to stand up against crime.’

In this season many cases have been featured other than homicides and rapes, like molestation, corruption among others. What one can do to prevent susceptibility to the crime will be a separate section towards the end of the show.

Talking about the inspiration for theme of second season, India fights back Tejwani added, ‘After the season first we used to get a lot of enquiries about ways to help the victims and many friends asked me about the cases. This season is an attempt to reach out to people to inform about their rights and precautions to be taken.’
