He got suspicious when a 13-year-old girl traveling alone from Mandsaur asked about a train to Delhi. Gaikwad informed this to constable Sunil Rathore posted at ISBT post. This saved the girl child from being trafficked in the name of getting a job in Haryana.

Shribai, a resident of Aapchand in Sagar district who on sensing something suspicious about a 22-year-old woman who had fled fearing excesses, raised an alarm, causing the accused to flee. Showing courage and humanity, Shribai gave shelter to the victim in her house and registered the crime by informing the Kotwar and Sarpanch.
The real hero in the third short film is Arti Sharma of Vidisha district. When a girl told her about being physically harassed by her family, Arti Sharma raised her voice against it although in the process she had to face opposition of the whole family. Sharma registered a crime against the family members at the women’s police station in Vidisha district.
