ACP Goes Undercover to Assess Women's Safety in Agra
In a bold initiative to evaluate women's safety and the effectiveness of emergency services, Assistant Commissioner of police (ACP) sukanya Sharma in agra, Uttar Pradesh, disguised herself as a tourist and ventured out alone at night. Her mission aimed to understand the safety conditions for women in the city.

Sharma started her test by stopping outside agra Cantt railway station and calling the police helpline, 112, claiming she was stranded on a deserted road and felt unsafe. The operator advised her to find a safe location while gathering details about her situation. Shortly thereafter, a women's patrol team arrived to assure her that help was on the way. After revealing her true identity and purpose, Sharma confirmed that the response team had successfully passed her test.

Continuing her investigation, Sharma took an auto rickshaw and engaged the driver in conversation about safety concerns for women in Agra. The driver noted that the police had recently checked his background and mentioned he would soon need to wear a uniform while driving. Satisfied with his responses and behavior, Sharma felt reassured about the interactions she observed.

Activist deepika Narayan Bhardwaj praised Sharma's efforts on social media, encouraging police departments across the nation to conduct similar evaluations to better understand the challenges citizens face at night. Bhardwaj stated, “That’s actually the first right step towards women’s safety. police in every city should do this. Become a common man and experience the city yourself to know the problems people face at night. Good job by Dr. sukanya Sharma.” The agra police Commissionerate also commended her initiative, suggesting that such checks should be mandatory for all officers to strengthen the police force and enhance their intelligence capabilities.
