So much for Hyderabad, the much harried and tormented Indian women are not safe and secure anywhere throughout the vast expanse of this country that all of us euphemistically call our motherland........
In an even more heart wrenching and horrifying incident in Punjab's Tarn Taran district, a bunch of policemen who are supposed to come to the aid of women in times of distress, preferred to behave like a bunch of blood thirsty bandits and mercilessly beat up a young woman for no fault of hers........
The gut wrenching visuals that were played on the 24 hour English news channels times without end have narrated the sequence of events as under......
This hapless young woman was wending her way back from a marriage celebration and merrily walking her way back home when she was teased and inappropriately touched by a truck driver, the woman asked the truck driver to mend his ways and when this did not have the required salutary effect on the offending truck driver she approached a police party who happened to be on the spot.......
To her utter horror and dismay, the four demons in khakhi sided with the erring truck driver and turned their collective wrath on the beleaguered woman instead of taking the offending truck driver to task.........
One of these notables jostled and pushed her, while a second made a furtive attempt to snatch her dupatta away, the third of the lot repeatedly slapped her while the fourth compounded her misery by mercilessly beating her up with his lathi........
The father of this young woman also was subjected to the same inhuman treatment and also beaten up in turn by the very same bandits in disguise when he approached them and demanded an explanation for their highly objectionable behaviour.......
As has come to be the norm in such cases, the police higher ups have taken cognisance of these heart wrenching visuals, suspended the four erring cops and initiated an internal departmental inquiry into the incident.......
One is well aware of the fact that such enquiries are a little better than an eyewash and nothing more than a ill concealed attempt at buying time and sweeping the unpleasantness under the carpet at the earliest......
Nothing has ever come out of such enquiries and nothing will ever come out of them as long as they continue to be con ducted by the very same police higher ups who have the same disgusting sexist and age old mindsets towards the fairer sex......
One wonders why the respective state governments have failed to act against these repeat offenders despite the Supreme Court passing many an order on the same; naming and shaming such repeat offenders and the setting up of a rogues gallery prominently displaying the photographs of these bandits in khakhi is the only way forward........
Will the Punjab government put it's money where it's mouth is and dole out exemplary and punitive punishment that will serve as an example for all other such cops who harbour these very same deplorable tendencies or then will this instance too be given a quiet burial as is the governing norm; well your guess on this one is as good as mine..........
