Same Incident in 2013:

Earlier there were many incidents in which Delhi Police Personnel have helped for the same incident. In 2013, the PCR staff helped a woman deliver a child in their vehicle after a car carrying the woman broke down in north Delhi. In May this year, a woman delivered inside a PCR van near Rajghat after her husband failed to find an auto-rickshaws nearby and called up the PCR. However, the Police have decided to reward the PCR team for the excellent work done by them.
