Going out at mid night. As a women
1 year ago
I'd like to know, is it legal or illegal for a women to go out at night just for a ride. What to do if police stops me and falsely accuse me for drunk and drive or other case?
A.Dear client, India is a democratic nation. Everyone have certain right that are equal for all. You can obviously go outside at night and no once can book you. However, being safe and sound is important.
