If you understand Kannada, go ahead and watch this video shot by the HSR Layout police. If not, just download the ‘Suraksha’ phone app from Google Play store or Apple’s App Store, register with your phone number and address, assign two emergency contacts and you are good to go.
In an emergency, just open the app and press the red button for five times. If you don’t respond to the police call, the phone will automatically capture a ten-second video and send it to the cops. An alert with your geographical address will go out to the cops and your two emergency contacts. The police promise to reach you within nine minutes. It is a safety app that is particularly helpful to women.
Several latest reviews on Google Play complained that the app did not allow them to register. However, when we tried it today, it did, and quite smoothly with no hiccups. One user has also benefitted from this app.Says Akila Venkat on Google Play: “I read about the app in an online news portal and immediately downloaded it. I had to use it to report a case of stalking. Within seconds of pressing the help button, I got a call from the police to know the details. Within minutes, two police officers came from nowhere and handled the stalker by taking him to the station. Long story short, the app works in cae of emergencies!”
