RAPES AND SEXUAL CRIMES CONTINUE UNABATED.......

The highly distressing; disturbing and dismaying spate of sexual atrocities against women certainly shows no signs of abating in the Akhilesh Yadav ruled Uttar Pradesh.........
 Despite the so called "young; enterprising and dynamic" chief minister's protestations about the media especially 24 hour English News channels unduly distorting; manufacturing and concocting so called "fairy tales" about the recent surge in sexual crimes committed within his state; the fact remains that the number of reported rapes within Uttar Pradesh rose by an alarming and unprecedented 161% (In 2015-16) when compared with the figures for 2014 according to the NCRB website.......
 In the latest atrocity reported from the above mentioned state in less than a week or so a 23 year old Hapur (40 odd kilometres from Bulandshahr) based cosmetics saleswoman has alleged that she was sexually violated by two robbers who broke into her modest dwelling a little after 11 pm on Wednesday (August 3;2016) night....
 According to the version of events narrated by the rape survivor to the senior inspector of the Hapur (rural) police thana; two masked intruders gained entry into her home and hearth by picking the lock on her front door when she was in the land of lingering and pleasant dreams.......
 She was abruptly and unceremoniously awakened from her beauty sleep by the two masked assailants who brandished menacing looking knifes; they firstly relieved the woman of the Rs. 5,000/- that she had placed in her almirah's locker; gold chain; bangles; earrings; mobile phone and all other personal belongings......
 One of them held his knife to her neck and threatened to end her existence on planet earth if she as much as let out a whimper while his comrade in arms proceeded to sexually brutalise her and the same act was repeated by the second assailant while his comrade held his knife to the hapless woman's throat........
 They then proceeded to make good their escape after holding out the now stereotyped threats about snuffing out her life if she reported this grotesque incident to the police and so on and so forth; but the quivering; battered and shattered woman somehow or the other managed to summon up the requisite and required courage to wend her way to the afore mentioned police thana and register a written complaint against the two fugitives who had sexually violated her........
 Breaking away from the usual practice of the much maligned Uttar Pradesh Police; the senior officer who was on duty at 1:30 am (in the wee hours of Thursday morning) took due cognisance of the woman's written complaint and condescended to show her the mug shots of all the known criminals who were known to frequent the area but the rape survivor failed to identify any of them as they had well and truly succeeded in obscuring and masking their true identities..........
A case has been registered against the two absconding men under section 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code and all the neighbouring police stations within a radius of 150 kilometres or so have been alerted and instructed to apprehend these rapists who are at large at the present time.........
Will the concerned police officials and political luminaries do the needful in this case or then will the victim once again be maligned; barracked; besieged; harassed; terrorised and harassed as has become the norm in all such rape cases that are reported during Akhilesh Yadav's reign as Uttar Pradesh's chief minister..........
