A 8 year old girl was abducted publicly by 2 drunk men and the cops of Mumbai felt their Chinese dinner was far more important than chasing the car. At a time when women's safety, or the lack of it, continues to make headlines, this case yet again bares the largely insensitive outlook of men in Khaki. 😡

Seriously, what is this happening to our country... 🤢

Even after the Delhi rape case made so many headlines across the country, how is it that the Indian police appear so negligent? Rape victims are scared to the police to report cases as they are not taken seriously or would be interoggated in a manner, which questions their modesty. But the above case is of a young 8 year old girl being publicly kidnapped... why are they so careless, disinterested and disrespectful ?

Of course criminals, rapists, murderers are to be completely blamed and punished for their loathsome acts, but could things have been different if our men in khaki were more cautious, heedful and mindful?

I don't understand what is wrong with the policemen, anymore than you do. But with or without their desire for Chinese food, they cannot be held accountable for everything. I do not claim to be so brave I'd jump into the scene of crime myself to rescue more such eight year olds. But there's every possibility that if I see something like this happen, I'll call for help and call the police, when you file a complain, there's no way they cannot arrive, right?

How sick! They are corrupt to the core, that's what's wrong. They know they can get away with everything because negligent police officers never face any real consequences. When an ordinary person commits a crime, there are consequences and that is what deters crime. The same doesn't apply to police in India unfortunately.

The cops aren't everywhere. As it is they have a hard time between choosing Chinese food and rescuing an eight year old. Who wants to wait for them to arrive before acting in order to gather some help and do whatever they can to help the ones in need?

These types of stories are nothing new. You hear about police misconduct and negligence, or on the flip-side...overzealous police wrongly chasing down/killing possible suspects. Army folk raping citizens overseas, rape of refugees. And it's not just limited to India.

I'm all for vigilantes.

See the rapists are running the indian parliament😕

Rajya Sabha deputy chairman P J Kurien in the Suryanelli sex scandal, the victim's mother sent a letter to Sonia Gandhi, seeking her intervention for an impartial probe.😕

In 1996, the
Suryanelli rape case shook up Kerala the way the Nirbhaya incident convulsed Delhi in December. The young 16-year-old at the centre of the horrific 40-daylong outrage is now 33 and still waiting for justice. ""You may not know my name, ever. To the day I die, I am destined to bear this tag that I cannot shrug off — I am the Suryanelli girl. For the past 17 years, I have been fighting for justice as some called me a child prostitute and others the victim. But no one ever gave me a name like Nirbhaya or Amanat. I will never be the nation's pride or the face of women wronged.

I am no longer the 16-year-old school girl who fell for her first love, and lost her life. Yet, at 33, I am battling the same nightmares; my world is a grey longwinding road that stretches from my house to church and office.

People have a tendency to smirk when I recount the 40 days when I was turned into a female body that could be used anyway they liked — sold like caged cattle, pushed into dark rooms across the state, raped day and night, kicked and punched. They ask me how I can remember everything, and I wonder, how can I ever forget? I drift into disturbed sleep every night with those days flashing in front of my eyes, and I wake up to a dark fathomless hole inhabited by slimy men and wicked women.

I can remember all those faces clearly. Raju comes first. The man I loved, and trusted. That he would turn me into the victim of Kerala's first sex racket was the twist in my love story. The man whose face I searched for during my every day trip to school was one among the many I had to point to in an identification parade , and come face-to-face in the court corridors. In those days, I really wanted to kill him, my first love.

My trauma did not end with them dumping me near my house when I was near-dead . My family stood by me, and I filed the case thinking that this should not happen to another girl. I thought I was doing the right thing, but what followed changed my belief. The investigation team paraded me across the state, asked me countless times to describe everything they did to me. They made me realise that being a woman is not easy, as a victim or a survivor.

I feel relieved that the Delhi girl died, or she would have faced the same pointed, po*n-tinted questions from everywhere, forced to explain countless whys, and would have had to live a life fearing her own shadow and without a friend.

I too don't have a friend; no one in office wants to talk to me. My parents, and my sister working in Karnataka, are the only people who hear my voice, and yes, there are advocates, media persons and social activists. I read a lot too nowadays , I am reading K R Meera's 'Aarachar' (The Hangman) now.

Apart from my family, no one else knows that I worry about my failing health, my constant headache, a leftover of those 40 days when a kick on the head was part of the abuse they unleashed on me. My doctor says I should not be so stressed, and I really thought it was funny. I have gained weight too, it is nearing 90. When I was suspended from my job for nine months, I spent most of my days in bed, and the kilos piled on. Now I am doing some exercises. Total cure is another dream, another prayer that keeps me going.

My belief in the Almighty that everything would turn out to be good is still alive. I pray every morning and night, and I don't ask why me, why this again. I trust Him, even in those days when I could barely open my eyes or stay alive, I prayed. I belong to the Latin Church which is the largest individual church in the Catholic Church, but in all these 17 years, not even a single prayer was said for me in any church anywhere. No rosaries marked the Hail Marys, and no angels came to my doorstep to offer kind words.

But my belief has not wavered. It gives me the strength to watch 24/7 news channels where the protectors of law call me a child prostitute, and eminent personalities discuss why my case won't stand. Even when I am framed in a financial fraud case in my office, and when my parents go down with major health problems , I convince myself that this too would pass. One day.

Suryanelli saga

On Jan 16, 1996, a 16-yr-old girl was abducted from a hostel at Suryanelli in Idukki district by a bus conductor. After abusing her sexually, he handed her over to two persons, including a woman. The girl was later taken to several places in the state, and raped by as many as 42 men. Then Kerala minister P J Kurien was alleged to be one of them.

On Feb 26, 1996, the girl's captors allowed her to go home as her health deteriorated.

On Sept 3, 2000, a special court convicted 35 of the 39 accused. But five years later, Kerala HC acquitted all, except prime accused S S Dharmarajan.

On Jan 31, 2013 the SC set aside the Kerala HC verdict acquitting 35 accused. The state government has ruled out a re-probe.

Dharmarajan absconded while on parole a week ago. While still in hiding, he told a local TV channel that he himself had taken Kurien to the girl at a guest house in Idukki on Feb 19, 1996. source: Timesofindia.com
