Pune Police Bharosa Cell Appeals to Couples: “Don’t Take Extreme Steps, We’re Here to Help”

Pune, 30th May 2023: In a bid to address the increasing number of relationship disputes and prevent extreme measures, ACP Anita More from the Pune police has made a heartfelt appeal to couples facing problems, urging them to approach the Bharosa cell of the Pune police without fear. More emphasized that couples should not resort to drastic actions and assured them that the police are there to provide assistance.

The call for seeking help came as two tragic incidents unfolded on the same day: the stabbing of a minor girl by a youth in Delhi and the murder of a young man by his classmate, a young woman, in Wagholi, Pune. These incidents underscore the importance of early intervention and support for troubled relationships.

Over the past two years, the Bharosa cell has been receiving complaints from live-in couples as well as those who have ended their relationships. To address these issues, the cell conducts counseling sessions that have proven effective in helping couples reassess their situation and view each other from different perspectives.

At the counseling sessions, the complainant’s side of the story is heard, and then the counselor, who is a police officer, contacts the partner and invites them to the Bharosa cell office for further discussion. The allegations are openly discussed, allowing both parties to clear the air and gain a better understanding of each other’s perspectives.

The counselor continues to facilitate communication between the couple, organizing subsequent sessions every 15 days until a compromise or resolution is reached. The positive outcomes of these counseling sessions have been evident, with many couples successfully restarting their lives and resolving their differences.

The Bharosa cell has observed a rise in such complaints over the past two years, particularly from individuals working in the IT sector. Petty issues, such as unanswered calls or unresponsive messages, have become sources of frustration among couples. Disputes arising from social media activities have also become a major concern. Some individuals report that their partners threaten suicide over minor issues, while others complain of their partners engaging in affairs with other people.

The police are determined to address these grievances and provide guidance to individuals navigating troubled relationships. The Bharosa cell serves as a crucial support system for couples in need, aiming to prevent tragic outcomes and foster healthier relationships.

Assistant Commissioner Anita More encourages couples to take advantage of this resource, assuring them that the police are committed to helping them through difficult times. By seeking timely assistance and participating in counseling sessions, couples have the opportunity to rebuild their relationships and find a path towards a more harmonious future.
