A viral social media post claims that women across India can call 1091 or 7837018555 for free transportation home between 10 PM and 6 AM if they cannot find a vehicle. The post asserts that police vehicles will safely escort women home at no cost. However, this claim is misleading. Authorities, including West Khasi Hills Police and Hyderabad Police, have dismissed the notion of any such nationwide scheme. The number 7837018555 was actually shared by Ludhiana Police in 2019 for a city-specific service that is still active. Additionally, 1091 is a helpline number provided by the National Commission for Women (NCW) for women in distress, but it is not linked to a free transportation service. Women are encouraged to verify local resources and services available in their specific areas instead of relying on misleading online claims.
