Sakshya112 — the witness eye, watched over by response drones
Sakshya · साक्ष्य — the witness

Drones as
First Responders.

Sakshya112 is India's anti-crime response network in development — a citizen app that reaches the police when you can't, two advanced drones for outdoor and indoor operations, and docking stations across the city: built to de-escalate, negotiate and prevent.

De-escalation, not force — sensor-only aircraft Citizen app + VEER · NAYAK · RAKSHAK 120-second response, by design
The app · in development

When calling the police
isn't possible.

When calling the police isn't possible, Sakshya112 gives you two silent ways to reach them. Shake your phone — or say the emergency word, "Help" or "Call the police," in any Indian language — and a live video call opens to the police control room, recording from the first second.

Every feature is designed for moments when speaking aloud isn't safe: discreet text chat with the control room, live audio and video sharing, an AI summariser that briefs responders on the situation as it unfolds, and real-time translation so the control room understands every caller in their own language.

And because safety is a family concern, the app carries a Guardian Circle — trusted contacts, shared journeys with check-ins, and a quiet "reached safely" — protection that works all day, not only in the worst minute. Every second it records is hashed at capture, so what the phone saw survives as court-ready evidence.

Discreet chat

Type silently to the control room when a voice would give you away.

Live audio & video

The control room sees what your phone sees, from the first second.

AI summariser

Responders get a running brief of the situation as it unfolds.

Live translation

The control room understands every caller in their own language.

Shake & word triggers

Shake the phone or say the word — a cancelable countdown absorbs false alarms.

Guardian Circle

Trusted contacts, shared journeys and check-ins — nothing escalates without you.

Court-ready evidence

Every second hashed and sealed on the phone, built around India's evidence law.

Weak-network resilient

No signal? It keeps recording locally and uploads the sealed chunks when signal returns.

The trigger

Say the word.
Or just shake.

Listening for the emergency word happens on your phone — nothing is recorded or streamed until you trigger it. No unlocking, no dialling, no app to find. The response begins while the phone is still in your pocket.

The fleet · in development

Eyes overhead
in 120 seconds.

Two advanced drones and a city dock network, in development for crime de-escalation, negotiation and prevention — VEER outdoors, NAYAK indoors, and RAKSHAK, the docking stations they launch from. Police eyes on the scene, a voice in the air, and officers guided in before anything goes wrong.

Outdoor · docked · small class

VEER

The responder. Launches from a RAKSHAK dock and reaches the scene first — a presence in the air that announces police are watching.

  • 4K zoom camera, thermal imaging and a laser rangefinder
  • Spotlight and a 120 dB speaker — negotiate and de-escalate from the air
  • 120 km/h design cruise · 40-minute endurance target
  • Parachute armed on every flight · built for 50 °C and monsoon rain
  • Sensor-only — cameras and a voice, never weapons
Indoor · caged · micro class

NAYAK

The indoor specialist. A caged micro-drone that goes where officers can't yet see — corridors, stairwells, rooms — and talks while it looks.

  • Flies without GPS — sees in full darkness with infrared vision
  • Rigid cage, self-righting — perches for an hour to keep watch
  • Two-way audio in half a second — real-time negotiation
  • 4K recording and a 3D map of the scene, hashed at capture
  • No tactical tools — eyes and a voice, nothing else
The dock · city network

RAKSHAK

VEER's home across the city — charged, climate-controlled and ready day and night. The network that makes 120 seconds possible.

  • Charges in place with a standard swappable battery cartridge
  • Built for 55 °C sun and 150 mm/h monsoon rain
  • An hour of backup power · runs on a single 15 A line
  • From single nests to multi-bay hives across a city
  • 30 days unattended — the design target before any city install

Every figure above is a design target — nothing here has been built, flown or certified yet. All flights happen within visual line of sight under a licensed human pilot in command; we do not conduct, offer or advertise BVLOS operations. A licensed pilot flies every drone — software never flies the aircraft.

Why drones

Minutes matter.
Seconds decide.

In dense city traffic, road response to an emergency can take 10–15 minutes. A crime takes seconds.

10–15 min
Road response today
Distance, traffic, terrain — however fast they drive, the road decides.
VS
120 sec
VEER — the response drone
Straight over the traffic — the arrival our prototypes are being designed and flight-tested for.

That gap is the reason we are building eyes that fly — a design target to be proven in independent flight testing before any pilot city.

Built for real moments

Walking home late.

The cab that turns wrong.

The knock that doesn't stop.

A night shift, alone.

Every parent's 2 a.m. worry.

For everyone who was told "stay safe" — and deserved more.

The honest line

What's real.
What's being built.

Working today

  • The capture-to-courtroom evidence pipeline — end to end
  • On-device emergency-word detection
  • Every second hashed and sealed as it's recorded
  • Guardian Circle — journeys, check-ins, trusted contacts

Being built

  • VEER, NAYAK and the RAKSHAK dock network — every figure a design target
  • First flights on a DGCA type-certified platform, in visual line of sight, licensed pilot in command
  • Police and 112 integration — never claimed until it's true
  • City pilots first, then pan-India

Help should arrive.
Truth should survive.
