Is standing up for the safety and security of your better half a crime that should be visited with the harshest possible recrimination or punishment, well these six people who mercilessly assaulted a journalist in Mumbai certainly seem to think so and what is even more appalling is the fact that a significant majority of such people seem to think so too.......
A journalist associated with a local daily was mercilessly beaten up and accosted in Mumbai's Malad (West) area by six persons (if one can call them that) on Saturday night just because he took up cudgels on behalf of his better half (wife) who was being sexually abused by the very same people.........
This sordid and grotesque incident occurred in the vicinity of the Sainath market which is a stone's throw away from the Malad Railway station and is an area that is densely populated for at least 15 hours a day or so........
According to local police sources, the couple were out for their weekend shopping when they were rudely confronted by these six demons who started passing lewd remarks against the journo's wife.......
" I was taken aback and rudely awakened when a group of people firstly started passing lewd and highly objectionable remarks against my wife and then made attempts to grope and inappropriately touch her, I tried my valiant best to push them off, but was soon overwhelmed by their far greater numbers", Sanjay Prasad, the intrepid journalist in question said...........
Prasad who suffered a deep cut on the head that required sutures and many other cuts and abrasions on his persona was treated at a nearby private hospital and subsequently proceeded to file a police complaint at the local police station against the six men who had assaulted him and tried to outrage his wife's modesty..........
Swinging into action with surprising alacrity, the Malad police personnel managed to lay their hands on one of the accused six one Vijay Bahadur and have posted look out notices in all the other police stations of India's commercial capital.........
"We have booked cases under sections of the IPC pertaining to outraging the modesty of a woman, assault and rioting against the absconding five and are extremely optimistic about our chances of nabbing them within the next 48 hours or so", Senior Police Inspector Ajit Surve remarked......
Is there any nook and cranny in this country that supposedly venerates and worships it's women folk where they are indeed safe and secure; crowded public places or then desolate and deserted corners, brightly lit streets or then dingy, decrepit and neglected bylanes anywhere and everywhere is a "prime" location for these menfolk(?????) who have made inflicting misery on women their life's aim and purpose........
These behaviours are nothing more than mere manifestations of a sick, warped and demented sexist mentality that needs to be nipped in the bud if Indian women are to be accorded their due status in a hopelessly male dominated society..........
