OP : In Chembur, me and 4 of my friends/siblings had gone out to eat burgers when a drunk man in his 50s-60s, standing on the road smoking, suddenly started yelling at me repeatedly, “चल गाड़ी पर बैठ आ जा.” When I asked if he was talking to me, he said yes. My brother confronted him for speaking to a girl like that, after which the man started threatening and yelling at me saying things like “शानी बन रही है क्या?” and "तुझे दिखाता हूँ." He then ran away leaving his scooty behind, and we stayed there waiting for him to return. Around 15 minutes later, he came back with his wife and completely changed the story, claiming I approached him first. While we were arguing, a local man called people from the area and suddenly 20-25 people gathered around us. Things escalated quickly - my sister was physically pushed, my brothers were beaten, slapped and attacked, and when I tried stopping them, even I got pushed and hit. Elderly women from the crowd started slapping me too. Stones were thrown at us and huge rocks shattered our car's front glass completely. We were just 5-6 people against an entire mob. When we called the police expecting help, they immediately started yelling at us to sit in the police van without even hearing our side. Later we found out the local man involved was apparently known to the police. At the station, instead of taking the harassment and assault seriously, we were mocked, interrupted, yelled at, and treated like criminals. One officer kept staring at my chest while I was trying to explain what happened, and one of my friends was even slapped by a cop for speaking against the local man they were favouring. By the end of it, we were so traumatised, exhausted and emotionally drained that we gave up on filing the complaint altogether. So the question is - is this how safe women are in Mumbai? If girls can get verbally/ sexually harassed, physically attacked, and then mocked at police stations too, who are common people supposed to go for help?

Pimpri Chinchwad, Maharashtra ! Look how this Taxi driver is brutally beaten by Maharashtra Police. Maharashtra Police seems have lost the plot on Sensible Policing. Such indiscriminate force should never be used against peaceful individuals.

Goa Police! OP tilve Gajanan : This is a painful reminder of what happens when those entrusted with protecting the people forget their duty. A group of students from a college in Bardez reached Anjuna Police Station at around 2:00 PM to file a complaint. They weren't asking for favours. They weren't creating trouble. They were simply exercising their legal right to seek justice. Instead of being heard, they were made to wait for hours. No officer entertained their complaint. To make matters worse, they were threatened with arrest for no valid reason. At around 6:00 PM, these students called me. I could hear the fear and helplessness in their voices. I immediately reached the police station to stand beside them. When I asked the officer a simple question "Why has there been such a delay in taking their complaint?" his response was, "Who are you to question me?" That sentence says everything that is wrong with the mindset of a few who believe power is above accountability. A police station is not anyone's private property. It belongs to the people. Every officer wears the uniform to serve the public, not to intimidate them. The saddest part is that because of the actions of a few such officers, the image of the entire police force gets tarnished. There are countless honest, dedicated and compassionate police officers who work day and night to protect society. They too suffer when arrogance and abuse of authority by a handful of individuals destroy the public's trust. Perhaps some are emboldened by recent statements insulting the youth of Goa by calling them "termites." But let me say this loudly and clearly: The youth of Goa are not termites. They are the strength, the conscience and the future of this State. If standing with students against injustice makes me a target, so be it. You may threaten me with arrest. You may misuse your authority. You may try to silence our voices. But understand one thing... I WILL NEVER STOP STANDING WITH THE PEOPLE. I AM NOT AFRAID. Because fear protects injustice. Courage protects people and as long as I have a voice, I will continue to speak for every student, every youth, and every citizen who is denied dignity, respect and justice.
