Very topical issue.

A recent expose by Tehelka as it conducted investigation of police stations in Delhi. Rad the article. The attitude of police officers is absolutely horrifying. Education of these neanderthals id badly needed, ASAP.

Here is the link and few excerpts. Germane to Mandira's case is the fact that they believe that if you had consensual sex with anyone, you are game 😡

Read and weep






...Even more shockingly, some of them are of the view that if a woman has consensual sex with one man, then she shouldn't complain if his friends also join in. If a woman is doing late hours at the office then she had it coming' and the arguments keep coming.
...

In the two-week long investigation, TEHELKA undercover reporters visited five police stations in Gurgaon, six in Noida, four in Ghaziabad, two in Faridabad and six in Delhi. Out of the 30 policemen TEHELKA spoke to, 17 were extremely prejudiced, misogynist and shockingly insensitive towards rape victims. Five scored well on the enlightenment card.
...

TEHELKA captured Sub-Inspector Malik on camera brazenly pinning the blame yet again on the victim alone: "Is case mein jo real baat hai, ladki vodka peene ki habitual hai. Usne vodka party mangi, Rs 6,000 mein book ho gai. Physical relation ke liye 6,000 mange. Baad mein mukadma likha diya. Yeh real baat hai. Mere pass uske CDR call detail ka record hai; unka purana relation hai (The real issue here is that the girl is a habitual vodka drinker and had asked for a vodka party. She then demanded Rs 6,000 for sex. When the money wasn't paid, she registered a rape complaint. I have her call records that establish she had a relationship with one of the accused)." Pointless to ask him how having a consensual relationship with one boy could warrant a girl being raped by 4 other boys.

Malik then turns his guns on the family and character of the girl: "Is ladki ki ma ka pehle hi divorce ho gaya. Aur wo ek Yadavji ke saath beth gayi. Uski umar 48 hai, admi 28 saal ka. Saath mein do ladkiyan. Behekna to tei ho gaya. Nahi ho gaya? (The girl's mother is divorced. She's living with another man from the Yadav community. She's 48 whereas the man is 28. It's inevitable the two daughters will be wayward, isn't it?)

"Ab jab 48 saal ki ma, 28 saal ke purush ke saath so rahi hai, do jawan ladkiyan dekh rahi hain, unko bhi zaroorat hogi. Sex is like hunger," he continues. (Now when two young girls watch their 48-year-old mother sleeping with a 28-year-old man, even they'll be aroused. Sex is like hunger)."

Nice topic... I've read this story... & there was lot of media debates on this issue.. the actual problem is that the police is completely unsympathetic towards victims. Moreover most of the police laws belong to the British era... Times have changed but the laws haven't ... the issue of police reforms have been discussed many times... but nothing has been done till date in this regard.
