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

Turn your phone
into a witness.

India's anti-crime response network — a phone that reaches the police when you can't speak, and drones that arrive before anyone else can.

Consent-first — nothing records without you Every Indian language 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.

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.

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.

Interactive demo

Walk through
the response.

"Sakshya" means witness. Press the button exactly like a caller would — then dispatch the drone yourself, like the control room does.

◉ 112 Control RoomSIMULATED
00:01 Live stream open — the response unit can see the scene.
00:03 Location locked. Every second is hashed on the phone — sealed before it leaves.
Dispatched. Response drone en route. design target: 120-second arrival
Overhead — spotlight on. “Police are alerted. This is being recorded.”
Incident witnessed. The scene is lit and recorded, and the guiding voice overhead stays with the caller until help arrives.
Every second, already sealed. The case is already built.
A licensed human pilot flies every drone — the software requests and tracks, never controls the aircraft. The 112/police dispatch link is a stated design goal — every dispatch in this demo is clearly SIMULATED.
Interactive demo of the built software — the drone fleet and police/112 integration are the design goals we are building toward. The camera and mic run in your browser and never leave your device; both switch off the moment recording stops.
Drones as first responders

Eyes overhead
in 120 seconds.

Because seeing the scene changes everything, we are building Drones as First Responders — launched from a network of docking stations to put police eyes on the scene in 120 seconds: announcing that police are watching, guiding the person in danger, deterring and de-escalating until officers arrive.

01HD camera

Sees the scene in detail, day or night, and records it as evidence.

02Thermal imaging

Finds people in darkness, smoke, and places a spotlight can't reach.

03Speaker & microphone

Lets responders speak to the situation directly — deter, guide, de-escalate.

04Docking stations

A charged drone waiting across the city, minutes from every doorstep.

05A licensed pilot

In command of every flight, under DGCA rules. 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.

120 sec
Sakshya112 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
  • The live demo on this page

Being built

  • The drone fleet and its docking-station network
  • Police and 112 integration — never claimed until it's true
  • City pilots first, then pan-India
  • Independent laboratory and flight testing
Listening for the emergency word happens on your phone — nothing is recorded or streamed until you trigger it. Recording is consent-first, and the only identity we ever hold is your phone number.
Not yet, and we won't claim it until it's true. The system is designed around India's evidence law (BSA 2023 §63) — but no court has ruled on our output, and the 112 escalation in our demos is clearly labelled SIMULATED. The legal and pilot work to change that — honestly — is exactly what we are doing.

Help should arrive.
Truth should survive.
