Dialling 100

A 22-year-old man from Telangana dialled emergency services to ask cops to get him two bottles of chilled beer.

A day after the burnt body of a 26-year-old veterinarian was found near Hyderabad, a Telangana Minister today delivered a shocker by saying that the incident could have been prevented if the victim had called the police instead of her sister when she found people around her behaving suspiciously.

A young woman in Uttar Pradesh was shot dead allegedly by her husband ten days after her wedding. The woman's family alleges that the man killed her after she couldn't give a dowry of Rs 15 lakhs that the husband had been demanding.

An alleged mobile thief, to take the police off his tail, dialled '100' and gave false information that policemen were raping his wife, but failed in his attempt, a senior police official said today.

Police are hassled by around 72,000 "blank calls" every day with some callers dialling the Police Control Room helpline numbers over 50 times "by mistake". With '112' also being in the trial run, along with '100', the number of blank calls received on both these helpline numbers totals to around 72,000 every day, said a senior police officer.

Dialling 100 during emergency will soon be a thing of past, with the Delhi Police working on a mobile app that will connect the distressed person with the police in a single touch to ensure quick response.

Uttar Pradesh Police is set to become the most tech-savvy force in the country with completion of "geo tagging" of about 12 lakh locations that would help it "timely" locate victims dialling 100 for help.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Delhi Police today told Delhi High Court that "inconvenience" caused to Justice Vipin Sanghi, whose calls to the emergency helpline number 100 went unanswered, was "inadvertent" and due to reasons beyond their control, including congestion in the systems of telephone service providers.

Delhi Police helpline number 100 is dialled not just to report crime but also for a range of innocuous issues like housewives seeking help in getting LPG cylinders, enquiries about address of popular fast food joints or children asking details about exam centres.

About a 100,000 dialled in to chat live with Aamir on the first episode of Satyamev Jayate. Only 10 lucky callers actually spoke to him.
