In yet another stereotypical manifestation of traditional Indian male mindsets and male hegemony above all else, the Madhya Pradesh state police officials steadfastly refused to register an attempt to murder and sexual assault case against a dozen and more goons who allegedly assaulted a woman, beat her up with iron rods and left her knee caps damaged to the extent that the woman may be disabled for life and all this because she resisted their sexual overtures........
The 27 year old victim a mother of one is currently recovering from her horrendous and heart rending ordeal and trauma in an orthopaedic ward of a Bhopal hospital, she was sexually assaulted minutes after returning from the Taliya police station where she had incidentally gone to file a complaint of sexual assault and criminal intimidation by the very same group of men.......
Police officials manning the above mentioned police station however refused to entertain her complaint in their infinite wisdom and return with a duly typed one, the men who were lying in wait for this hapless woman yards away from the said police station pounced on her like a pack of wolves and beat her up within an inch of her life.......
This dastardly incident took place on June 5, 2013 and the doctors treating the victim at the Bhopal hospital are of the informed opinion that the victim may be disabled for life despite their best efforts as a result of the severe trauma inflicted on her knee caps which were more or less smashed to smithereens.......
Narrating the nightmare from her hospital bed, the hapless victim says, "when I went to complain against these men, the policemen within the station cursorily made a note of my complaint and asked me to return with a duly typed copy of the very same; I was beaten up mercilessly by these men yards outside the police station as I was trying to pay heed to the authorities demand for a duly typed complaint"...........
The Madhya Pradesh police officials have so far been successful (if one can call it that) in nabbing three of the dozen or so accused, but are still to lay their hands on the main or primary accused Nafees Qureshi who brutally assaulted the helpless victim with iron rods and broke both her knee caps........
And all this because he wanted to settle a long standing property dispute with the victim outside the jurisdiction of the courts.........
State governments claim to spend thousands of crores of rupees on the safety and security of womenfolk, but of what use is this expenditure if women are treated like chattel by the very same people who are being paid to ensure their safety and security.......
Will the Madhya Pradesh government wake up at long last from it's deep slumber and immediately sack all those officials who were indirectly responsible for the sorry plight of this 27 year old woman or then will they keep shedding crocodile tears and mouthing hollow sounding and false ringing plaudits every time such a horrific incident takes place, well your guess on this one is as good as mine.......
It is high time that we took matters into our own hands and sent out the stern message stop these atrocities against the Indian woman now........
