Womenfolk hailing from the north eastern part of our glorious motherland certainly seem to be bearing the brunt of the boorishness and machismo(?) that the national capital's menfolk seem to be displaying in ample measure........
A 34 year old Manipuri woman has alleged that she was harassed and humiliated by a group of seemingly or what seemed to be inebriated youths at a Munirka (South Delhi) bus stop late on Thursday night.......
The woman in question is gainfully employed as a beautician in a beauty parlour in the area and the incident happened/took place at around 11:30 pm or so on the fateful night when the lady had gone to drop off her younger sister at the said Munirka Bus Stop.......
According to her recorded version of events, three men firstly crossed her path and then started passing lewd/sexist and highly objectionable remarks about her facial features and other parts of her anatomy when she was on her way back home after having dropped her sister......
She thought that discretion was the best part of valour and deemed it fit to simply ignore the three men, but things seemed to be getting out of hand when the lewd remarks assumed a sinister and blatantly sexual overtone and crudely sexual overtures and attempts to grope her became the order of the day, the woman alleged in her complaint made to the Delhi Police.......
Keeping her wits and sanity about her,the woman then proceeded to send a text message on her husband's mobile phone describing her predicament in graphic detail as well as sent a similar message to the helpline set up by the Delhi police for the city's womenfolk.....
Taking due notice of his wife's plight, the gallant husband managed to reach the hot spot within minutes and the three youths took to their heels as soon as they saw him (the husband) coming to (his better half's) aid from a distance........
Wonders of wonders, a PCR van that was alerted by the alert staff manning the police helpline also managed to reach the very same spot within a matter of twelve to fifteen minutes or so and also duly proceeded to record the statement of the harried woman........
A case was registered under section 509 of the IPC (word, gesture or act exclusively intended to insult the modesty of a woman) against the three absconding youths almost exclusively on the basis of the woman's version of events and two teams of officials were also constituted to probe the incident as well as apprehend the three youths at the earliest........
CCTV footage from the cameras installed in the vicinity of the bus stop is being minutely perused in an attempt to unravel the identities of the three youths and the Munirka police officials are supremely confident about their ability to bring the three youths to book within the very near future........
One vividly remembers the tragi-comic attempt made by former Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar to openly ridicule and mock former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's earnest and sincere attempts to question the methods employed by the Delhi police when it cam to matters of policing and investigation.......
In fact, the very same Neeraj Kumar also went to the ridiculous extent of calling Arvind Kejriwal a liar and openly disputed Mr. Kejriwal's figures pertaining to the Delhi Police's success in solving crimes or more precisely crimes of a sexual nature committed against Delhi's womenfolk.......
Carrying matters a little too far, the very same Neeraj Kumar also read out a text message that was a downright insult to the former Delhi chief minister and more importantly did all this and more during the course of the recently concluded India Today annual leadership summit when crimes committed against women in the national capital region have risen by an alarming 23% or more during the course of the last 12 months or so.......
Should the Delhi Police concentrate it's time, efforts and concerted energies on making the national capital a far more secure and safe location for it's long suffering women or then should delusional and seemingly insane folks like one Neeraj Kumar be allowed to get away with blatant attempts to openly ridicule and demonise a former Delhi chief minister who has his heart and soul in the right place......
Well, I think I will take a back seat for now and humbly allow my fellow countrymen and women to take final/curtain call on the issue........
