A guy can come an attack and molest and attempt to rape a girl anytime anywhere but IF she hits in self defence and the guy dies or is severely injured there is a whole case on her where she has to go through police lawyers judiciary to prove herself that she did it in self defence. If the molester is dead there can still be a case on her by his family that she went too far in self defence and could be punished or jailed for it. All this will take up months of her life or maybe even years. Very much fair to the girl who did nothing wrong to be stuck in such a situation.
IDK if what Abir is doing is right. It's easy to say the face the judiciary but we all know how it runs how long it takes to get judgement and if the guys family is powerful how difficult it can get for the girl to prove innocence. All this she has to face coz a random guy one fine day decided to molest n rape her. Her entire life becomes at stake due to that one guy.
When Abir reached both ppl were unconscious mishti n the guy who tried to molest her. Did he know what happened between them. Did he even know mishti hit him in self defence. He just took mishti away without calling the ambulance to take the other unconscious/dead person away. Or maybe he called. If Abir left a random person to die without calling for help it would not be right. It wud have been better if they showed mishti running away to find Abir telling him everything, them coming back seeing the person dead and then mishti becoming unconscious n abir deciding to run away. I don't know what they have shown exactly in the episode though. I am yet to watch it.
Exactly
Abir is a human, None can be sure that the step they took in a situation like that was the "right" step, If Mishti gets punishment because of lack of evidence to support her claim of self-defense, then he would think informing the police without getting evidence was wrong.
In this situation, Abir acted like any of us would have acted, that guy tried to molest Mishti, what was she supposed to do? Abir didn't think he would die, he didn't know that the guy had imbibed enough alcohol to be poisoned by it, Mishti was unconscious, she couldn't tell him anything, he acted in a stressful situation and he did go back to check on the guy but sadly, he died due to overdose of alcohol
This is definitely a moral grey area, but TBH I can't say what is wrong or right here convincingly, the only thing I can say is that the guy trying to molest Mishti was wrong and Mishti was right in protecting herself
The show has potential to bring about what nicest of people do in a situation such as this, what legalities are there? Does our law and justice system expects women to get raped silently and wait for justice to be served, if her rapist is "kind" enough to spare her life?
