Bangalore Police will soon set up Database for Bangalore Domestic Help

16 Jun

Domestic help or assistance who flee to other cities after committing an offence is increasing day-by-day. Given the increasing number of thefts by domestic help in the city, Bangalore police will soon set up a bureau to record their antecedents.

“We’re not saying all assistants or domestic help are thieves but a few of them give the entire group a bad name,” said Bangalore police commissioner Jyothiprakash Mirji. The bureau will collect information, including biometrics, of these workers.  He said some domestic help are accused of stealing from their employers’ homes. “They work for a short period of time at each house. After stealing from one place, they move to another house,” he said.

Precautionary measures should be followed while appointing assistants.  “Those who want to employ domestic helps should given information about these men and women to the nearest police station. Local police will summon them before making a detailed inquiry,” Mirji said.

Joint commissioner of police (crime) Alok Kumar said the data will help police nab miscreants who flee to other cities after committing an offence.

Both Men and Women need to be aware and be safe from daylight mugging. You can prevent daylight mugging and help police to bring the culprits before the court of law.

So that they cannot sit inside your vehicle. If by chance they get into your vehicle, get out immediately – you will be in a public place. Raise your voice and call the people around.

If they try to threaten you or manhandle you, keep a pepper spray as a defense and use it properly and carefully if necessary. If there are any such cases or even if you suspect any such persons in the locality, please call Police. You can even tell them that you can arrange money from your friend and take them to place, where you know the people and then try to catch them with the help of known people and hand over them to police.
