Speaking with Radioandmusic.com Red FM 93.5 Network senior VP- projects and programming Nisha Narayanan siaid, "Red FM, has always believed in localization of content. Issues related to the city are what will always be reflected in the programming content.Looking at the increasing rate of crime in the capital, Red FM Delhi has taken the issue of crime more pro-actively and aggressively.After extensive research, the campaign clearly focuses on some very brave and inspiring people who fought crime, setting an example to all of us by their act. We have been receiving phenomenal response from listeners on this campaign."

The shows airs from 6 -11 am every morning and around 15 stories are aired in the series currently. The aim of the show was to spread awareness that there were crime fighters among the citizens who were not happy at their city being dubbed as the ‘Crime Capital of the Country’.
