Where are the girls safe?
A very valid question in our culturally rich India.We hear of rape at various public places. We hear of gang rapes but very rarely of a rape I am talking of now. And all will agree that girls are safe nowhere. The case I am going to narrate stunned me.Whenever I hear of a rape, my soul cries that they be given an exemplary punishment, their very organ be ripped off and that also at a public place.We Indians are so proud of our rich heritage. We claim that daughter of a village is the daughter of the whole village. We worship Devies and kill our daughters in the womb. Daughter-in-laws are burnt, wives are ill-treated and what not.No daughter, sister, woman, mother even grandmother is safe and can become a victim of rape.
A woman relative of a seventeen years old girl lodged a complaint at an all woman police station that the girl was being violated in her own house. The girl's statement was recorded. She was two years old when her mother died.She was brought up by her grandparents. Three years back her grandfather raped her.Then her brother raped her and then his friend whom his brother brought for money.Her neighbors did not spare her.Her father also raped her.She had met her father after tenth class. She went to the police as she was having problem with him.The policemen wanted sexual favour in lieu of helping her. Then they sent her to a hotel to oblige their officers.These gangrapes continued till her relative came to her rescue.She gave this statement before a magistrate and was sent to some govt home.But tbe complaint was to be written by the police.They made a weak case as the girl had named police officers as well Only father and brother were arrested.Even the cctv footage was tempered Now there is a PIL for handing over the case to CBI.
Now tell me where are girls safe?
