“We are saddened by the incident. Telangana Police are alert and efficient in controlling crime. It is unfortunate that despite being educated, she called up her sister and did not dial the police helpline number -- 100. Had she called up the police, she could have been saved,” Home Minister Ali told ANI.
The minister added that efforts would be made to spread awareness about the use of police helpline number in the future. “We will try to spread awareness about the use of ‘100’ number. It is for the help of the public,” said Ali.
