They always told me that call centres were dens of vice and debauchery, but I for reasons best known to myself and me alone steadfastly refused to believe them, but the recent events in a Gurgaon based call centre have all but convinced me about falling in line.......
A 30 year old female call centre executive was defiled, debauched and sexually assaulted by a group of her so called colleagues, friends and confidantes within the supposedly safe and sterile confines of a Gurgaon based call centre in the wee hours of Monday morning.........
Taking cognisance of a rape complaint filed by the victim (a resident of a working women's hostel in the national capital's R.K. Puram area), the Delhi police duly registered a "zero" FIR against the alleged culprits and subsequently transferred the case to their counterparts in Gurgaon as the same falls within their jurisdiction.......
The victim had brought to the notice of the concerned police officials the traumatic and seemingly tragic fact of having been assailed, cornered, confined and finally brutally assaulted by a gaggle of her male colleagues within the office premises of the late hours of Sunday night/wee hours of Monday morning.......
According to the investigating officer (Gurgaon police) cases have been registered against eight fellow male employees; and in what is a difference from the norm in such cases, the Gurgaon police officials have also booked cases against three female employees of the said call centre for the roles discharged by them in the facilitation and commitment of this dastardly crime.......
All that the police officials have managed to do in the last 24 hours or so is to identify two of the accused as Pawan and Rahul but is yet to make any arrests in the case thus far.......
Gurgaon police officials also pointed out the fact that lookout notices have been posted at neighbouring airports and railway stations while police officials of four neighbouring states have also been asked to keep an eye out for the absconding rapists and offenders........
They also said that they were actively considering/contemplating the option of booking cases against the owners and top management of the call centre for their woeful failure to provide a safe, secure and seemingly impregnable working environment/atmosphere/
Women are seemingly unsafe in the confines of their homes and dwellings, workplaces, streets, theatres, malls, hospitals, places of worship, railway stations, bus stands, cars, autos, taxis and so and so forth; one indeed wonders if there is any safe and secure place left for them under the sun that they can claim as their own??????
