Bhavani to rescue you from stalkers: Check out this nine inch, multi purpose self-defence tool

A Pune-based doctor, Pavan Kohli, has collaborated with experts from four countries (UK, Germany, Japan and Singapore) to come up with a women’s safety device to help working women stay clear of stalkers and attackers. The nine inch metal rod includes a pen knife, a sewing kit, some buttons, a mirror, pepper spray, a stun gun, a “rape siren” or panic button and some vermilion (for the married ladies). [caption id=“attachment_2147411” align=“alignleft” width=“385”] ![BN-HI098_iWeapo_G_20150310011645](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/BN-HI098_iWeapo_G_20150310011645-300x200.jpg) A blueprint of the device. WSJ.[/caption] The Samiidha Bhavani, named after an Indian goddess, is the  “first fully-legal and complete self-defense device for women," Kohli told Wall Street Journal. Termed  as a ‘gift from India to the women of the world’, the extendable metal rod has button triggers for pepper spray and can send message or alert upto 5 pre-saved recipients in the neighborhood using a GPS location. Kohli inaugurated the device on International Women’s Day, and it weighs 1.5 kilograms. The device is the outcome of research by sports and martial arts experts from Germany, the U.K., Singapore and Japan, reveals the report by WSJ. The Samiidha Bhavani combines five kinds of engineering technologies: Electrical, electronics, chemical, telecommunications and mechanical.  The device cost him Rs 5000 to make and the doctor hopes to sell it at Rs 1000 per device. The collapsible device, portable enough to carry in a handbag like “a water bottle”, was initially conceived with a make-up kit, but now has reduced its ornamental features to just a mirror and some spare buttons. Watch the video demo of the Samiidha Bhavani here:
