Man molests girl in broad daylight; Delhi police say kissing isn't molestation

New Delhi, Aug 11: After being harassed in broad daylight at the Connaught Place, the heart of the city, when the victim approached the police to file a molestation complaint, cops refused to lodge her complaint and said that kissing isn't molestation.

Radhika P Singh, a friend of the victim, posted about the incident on Facebook and it went viral. According to the post, when the victim was walking down the M block in Connaught Place, a man tried to kiss her forcefully.

She cried for help. The crowd over there nabbed the man and dialled up the police, who arrived 40 minutes later.

The cops took him aside, spoke to him and then ask the victim to lodge a written complaint. She does it twice, which they reject for being 'not clear'. When her friend submits a third one saying the incident was a case of molestation, the cops come up with a bizarre explanation: just trying to kiss a girl is not molestation!

Recounting the ordeal in her Facebook post, the woman's friend, Radhika Singh, says: "She was walking down M block (near barakhamba red light) Connaught Place, when this gentleman (Nikhil) came and tried kissing her in broad daylight. This happened in one of the most crowded places and no, she was not dressed inappropriately (coz that is what many in our society think when a girl is harassed) - so, she got hold of the guy and started screaming at him, when some passersby came and helped her nab him."

She then writes how the cop at the police station, Sanjiv Kumar, rejected the third complaint.

"She (the victim) wrote an application and the sub inspector ( Mr. Sanjiv Kumar) rejected right away saying she was not clear. She wrote an application 2nd time - again he said she hasn't explained "in detail" what has happened to him and what this guy did to her... Finally I offered to write an application in very clear words... It was again rejected by the sub inspector saying that I wrong in thinking that she was molested. According to him just trying to kiss a girl is NOT molestation!!!!!!!!!" Singh wrote on Facebook.

Singh further wrote that people standing and watching the chain of events said, "u know he is just a guy... Let him go".

But what the cops then did is likely to spell fresh trouble for the victim - they passed the victim's phone number to the stranger's parents, who called her on Sunday night. "...now she (the victim) fears the worst," Radhika Singh wrote.

Mangaluru: Meet Deepashree S, the state topper in the Commerce stream of the PU 2 exams, scoring an astonishing 599 out of 600. A student of Canara PU College, Deepashree had an inkling of success but admits the first rank was beyond her wildest dreams.

“All our doubts were cleared in the classroom itself,” she said, praising her lecturers. “Their concept-based teaching helped me understand everything thoroughly. I also made it a habit to revise daily.”

Planning her future early, Deepashree is already taking CA coaching and is all set to appear for the CA Foundation exam in May. Her next step? An integrated BCom with CA.

Daughter of Ashok S and Suma P, Deepashree is also a Carnatic classical singer, and attributes her sharp concentration to her love for music.

“Hard work matters, but yes, luck plays a part too,” she added with a wise smile — proving that success is a fine mix of talent, effort, and grace.

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.
