At a time when a large number of rape cases are lodged every day at police stations across the country, there is a special police station situated 15 km away from the international border in Jaisalmer district, where not a single case of rape has been lodged since 1993, when the station was established. This police station is situated in Shahgarh Bulj. In the last 23 years, only 55 cases have been lodged in this police station. Besides, no person has been kept as a prisoner here.

Another interesting thing about this police station is that if any notorious police official has to be set right or given punishment, he is sent here because there are no means of transportation, no light and water. Besides, if he wants to go Jaislamer, he has to take a lift from BSF vehicles passing through the area.

Although the designated strength of the station is 15 including an inspector, at present there are six personnel including an assistant sub-inspector.

SP Rajiv Pachar said earlier border crimes like smuggling of narcotics and weapons were rampant in this area as there was no fencing. But after installing the fencing, such activities have stopped.

"This police station was set up in 1993 and only 55 cases have been lodged so far. In 2006, one case under Section 302 was lodged and in 1994 one case under Section 307 was lodged. Till date no case of rape has been lodged in this police station," he said.

Only 55 cases have been registered at the station in 23 years!

Counting the number of cases registered at the station over the last 10 years, the SP said that in 2005 there was no case, one case in 2006, two cases in 2007, one case in 2008, no case in 2009 and 2010, one in 2011, four cases in 2012, two in 2013 and 2014 and three cases were filed in 2015. In 2016 so far, no case has been filed.

He said that soon electricity supply will be started at the police station as electricity line has been installed at a distance of 12 km from the station. The station has wire and satellite phone facility.
