Polce, the dark side

We all say that police should take action against eve teasing. They are responsible for keeping laws. But what happens when police turns bad. Well, police is mostly bad. But what happened in Kolkata recently is inhuman.

At night a 12 year old girl was moving on the road. Two policemen in uniform stopped by her on a police jeep. They asked her to come inside. When she got inside the assulted her in every possible way. She was kept at gunpoint so that she does not shout. It was her sheer luck that some people noticed it and ultimately those police got caught. This incident has again raised the question "Are police dependable?". What can be dome if the saviour of law does such thing. And that too with a 12 Year old. These people are inhuman.

They has been suspended. But is this enough. Who takes responsibility of the life of the girl who will have have to face the taunts of neighbours all long her life? Maybe she will have big problems in marraige also? Are you listening?

The police takes action

This is a story kept under cover. I am not telling the exact location as that may lead me into trouble. On May 2nd a eve teasing case occured here. The girl was molested and harassed. She told his brother and he came with his gang and beat the hell out of the teasers. There was a big fight and 5 were hospitalized. But the surprise is that the police took the side of the girl and let his brother's gang beat the hell out of the teasers in front of the police. They did not interfere. Maybe this was not right in legal sense. But my view is that they did the right thing. If they had interfered those teasers would have been jailed for a day and then released without any punishment due to interference of corrupt higher authorities. Sometimes it is needed to let the public do the justice. After this incident I hope eve teasers will think twice before teasing a girl again.

What is eve teasing?

Eve teasing is the term used to define the evil practice of harrasment of females in a sexual way. Eve means female and teasing means to tease. Thus eve teasing is the process of teasing females. And I don't need to mention that the teasers are males. It is a very growing problem in the Indian subcontinent. In some areas it has gone to a very serious extent and needs to be tackled. There are many incidents popping up day in and day out in India. Of course, it does not mean that it is only prevalent in India. It is also very much prevalent in Pakistan, Bangladesh and others. the reason I am focussing on India is I am an Indian. And by what I am seeing and if the trends are to be believed then the future is not looking well. We need to take serious steps against this.
