ON PEEPING TOMS; VOYEURS AND THE LIKES OF THEM........



Our very own peeping toms; voyeurs and such other people who get their cheap thrills from watching women in various stages of undress on their laptops and smart phones certainly seem to be coming out of the closet and making their presence felt.........
A couple of weeks after Union Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani spotted an ubiquitous CCTV camera in the changing room of a Fab India mart outlet in Goa; women visitors who were thronging Kolkata's favourite water park "Aquatica" on Sunday afternoon found a similar device occupying pride of place within the confines of their changing room..........
The group of unflinching and indomitable women who found the CCTV camera soon began raising slogans against the water park's management and causing a fracas that caught both the eye as well as attention of all the people who were present at the water park at the time........
A few locals who raucously contributed their mite to the volley of protests that spontaneously broke out within the premises of the water park then proceeded to wreak havoc within a certain section of the water park forcing the management to summon the local cops who arrived at the location at their own convenience.........
One of the first woman visitors who spotted the camera recording her in a semi dressed state firstly made her way towards the women security guards and enquired about the CCTV camera placed within the closed confines of the women's changing room; startled out of her wits one of the woman security guards on duty at the time sharply reacted by cutting off the power supply to the camera that had become the cause of a full blown confrontation...........
A few other women who also claimed to have noticed the camera but preferred to do precious little about it soon joined the now incensed woman and started raising slogans against the water park's owners and managements which forced the management's hand into summoning a few male bouncers who then proceeded to rough up and push and shove the group of woman protesters around...........
Cops from the local police station who arrived at the spot just as matters were threatening to get out of hand firstly proceeded to control a potentially ugly and hazardous situation and then seized the camera in question; a few laptops as well as other surveillance equipment from the water park for further investigation..........
They also detained about ten employees of the water park for questioning and further interrogation; on it's part; the water parks management touted out the rather hackneyed and seemingly illogical defence about having switched off the power supply to the said CCTV camera long before the women in question spotted the same..........
"We are more than willing to co-operate with the local police sleuths in the investigation as it will give us a fair chance to clear our tarnished name and reputation as well as conclusively establish the fact that we do not indulge in such nefarious as well as debauched activities either by mistake or then with evil intent": a senior official of the water park said.........
I for one am firmly on the slighted woman's side on this one; whose side are you on??????
