Checked against official sources on 25 August 2026.
the emergency number
If you are in danger right now, call this number. Escrow is not an emergency service and cannot send anyone to you.
where to report
Go to any police station in Delhi and ask to file a Zero FIR, which any station must accept regardless of where the assault happened. Delhi Police also runs a Special Unit for Women and Children.
what to bring
No documents or ID are required to make a report, and filing an FIR is not mandatory before getting medical care.
the exam window
You can get a free forensic medical exam at any government or private hospital at any time, with your consent, at each step. Evidence is most likely to be found within 72 hours, and is still sometimes collected up to 96 hours.
the deadline
There is no statute of limitations for rape under Indian law. You can report and file a case regardless of how much time has passed.
support organisations
People near you who do this every day.
These are independent of Escrow. They can sit with you through a report, and they can also just talk.
