A few days ago, a Delhi based Instagram group chat of young boys called ‘Bois Locker Room’ involving explicit conversations, pictures and videos of minor girls went viral on the Internet. The boys in the group share private pictures of teenage girls without their consent or knowledge, morph the images and discuss gang rape, too.

This incident has created an outrage on social media and many people have expressed their anger on the same.  Bollywood actors Swara Bhasker and Richa Chadha opened up and strongly condemned the Boys Locker Room. 

And now, Shahid Kapoor’s wife Mira Rajput Kapoor has reacted to the ongoing locker room controversy. She expressed her angst and shared a long essay on how Indian parents should raise their boys.

A long post shared by Mira on her Instagram read, “So, if you're raising a boy in India, consider this a plea. Our lives are in your hands. Instead of our parents teaching us caution, start teaching your sons consent. Instead our parents teaching us fear, start teaching your sons respect. Teach your sons about gender equality. Teach your sons what ‘No’ means.”

It continued, "Teach your sons that they aren't entitled to any woman's body, attention or time. Instead of our parents teaching us modesty, teach your sons about personal space. Instead of our parents teach us to avert gazes, teach your sons not to stare. Teach your sons about healthy masculinity, healthy romance and healthy sexual relationships."

"Teach your sons how to express emotion. That violence is not an option. That nobody, no matter what they are wearing or drinking, 'deserves' or 'asks for' it. Instead of our parents teaching us to be wary of men, raise your sons to be men who don't need to be feared. Instead of our parents teaching us how to avoid assault, teach your sons that it is unforgivable to assault women. Instead of our parents teaching us how to navigate an untrustworthy world, teach your sons to change it,” concluded the post.

Earlier, Richa called it a multi-faceted problem, while Swara strongly mentioned:  “Not enough to ‘hang rapists’ .. we must attack the mentality that creates rapists!”

Siddhant Chaturvedi aka MC Sher took to his Instagram to share a picture of the ‘Human Coronavirus Family’ and compared it to the ongoing controversy of 'Bois locker room' and 'Girls locker room’. He called these locker rooms extreme red zones.

Besides the Bois Locker Room, soon a similar episode of ‘Girls Locker Room’ came to light where girls mock private pictures of teenage boys.

On Monday, the Delhi Police Cyber Crime Cell took notice of the Instagram group called 'Bois Locker Room' which shared objectionable pictures of women and glorified rape on their group chat. According to the DCP Cyber Crime Cell, a case has been registered under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act.
