‘Women trained in self-defence can protect themselves’: B S Bassi

New Delhi: Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi has asserted that a woman trained in self-defence can handle a situation and protect herself whenever her safety is threatened. “All I said was that women trained in self defence can handle any situation where her safety is threatened. The right of private defence extends to the causing of death, it’s a provision in the Constitution,” Bassi told media here. According to reports, the Delhi Police has trained over 50,000 women in self-defence so far, achieving half of its target set for the year.
