Hyderabad's cab and auto drivers sure seem to be becoming a law unto themselves, the city had just about recovered from the Nikhil More and schoolgirl incidents when yet another cab driver decided to chance his luck and molest a 31 year old morning walker in the Cyberabad police limits........
This is the second such incident to have occurred within the Cyberabad police limits within a span of a little over three weeks and once again highlights the fact that Hyderabad is anything but a safe city for women out on the streets all by themselves or then in the company of one or two of their fellow beings........
B. Saritha, a manager with Novartis Pharma Health Care was out for her routine morning walk at 6:30 am on Thursday morning in the vicinity of Ramky Towers in Raidurgam with her friend and co- walker Shivani Gupta keeping her company as always when the desperate Dots Cab driver Irfan Kaleemuddin stealthily approached them from behind and mad a furtive attempt at grabbing and groping Saritha.......
The lady in question kept her wits about her and raised a hue and cry hearing which a few alert locals including a news paper delivery boy came to her aid, these good samaritans caught hold of this wannabe lothario, soundly thrashed him and then handed him over to the police personnel who had arrived on the scene from the nearby police picket.......
In his defence, the accused cab driver said that he did not deliberately grab the woman's hand, but only made an attempt to reach out for help as he was feeling dizzy and about to faint, but the passersby and the alleged victim negated his claims and said that his actions were well thought out and deliberate.......
A case has been registered against the accused cab driver by the local police under section 354 (assault or use of criminal force to a woman with the express intent of outraging her modesty) of the Indian Penal Code, the culprit was later produced before the designated court and the same has remanded him to judicial custody.........
Such incidents only make one wonder why Hyderabad which has always enjoyed the reputation of being a relatively safe haven for it's womenfolk, is well on it's way to becoming a veritable hell hole for them, are the menfolk of the city being inspired by the so called "macho" deeds of their male counterparts in the other parts of the country, or then do they want to show the rest of the country that they are indeed second to none when it comes to the issue of showing their supposed superiority and dominance over the so called weaker sex.........
Whatever happened to your tall claims about Hyderabad being the safest city of them all for it's womenfolk, Mr. Chief Minister and Police Commissioner?????
