We are facing the same issue again and again. On one hand, people talks about women empowerment and supporting the genuine concepts behind feminism. But, what next? Women are still being judged and rejudged as an object. A news of a girl being raped and threatened might be common for a few but it always comes with a wave of hatred, disgust, and pain for another girl.
On February 18th, a girl from Delhi University has lodged a complaint against a group of five men who allegedly gang raped her. The incident took place with a third year, the history student who has been raped by two of her own college-mates. The victim told the police that on February 3rd, her college-mates, Sunny and Gaurav took her to Faridabad to celebrate a party after a college function. Initially, she was reluctant to go with them but of them convinced her that they will be accompanied with one more female friend. They took her to one of their friend’s house where they were joined by two other boys, Sachin and Rohtash. It was then they gang raped her. The victim reported to the police that one of the accused has taped a video of her.
After that, she was dropped to home by a driver, Vinod, who also raped her in a car after parking it in an isolated place. All the accused has been arrested. The case has been registered under the sections of 376D, 120B, 506 IPC.
That sums up the ugly reality of incredible India.
