Hardoi, Dec 4 (IANS) Superintendent of Police Alok Priyadarshi was on a night patrol in Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi district when he saw a woman walking alone on the road.
The police official stopped the woman and learnt that she worked in a hotel and was returning home after night duty.
The police officer took the girl in his jeep and went back to the hotel where he pulled up the manager for being so indifferent to women safety.
