Of late, I have been witnessing a very disturbing increase in the crime against females, be a girl child, a teenager, or an adult woman. It has almost become the order of the day. Newspapers are replete with such news. No doubt, India has been placed at parity with Afghanistan as the worst countries for a female to born in. Sometimes, I guess, had it been there in the past too but very less reported?.. or the mind set of the Indian male is becoming less human, devoid of any compassion and respect for the other gender, and is also becoming fearless of the Indian Law!
So, I fancied an idea to let the world know the dark side of "Being a Female in India."
Let there be the consciences shaken, people of all walks do some soul searching..take a pause and raise their voice, wherever they are, against the atrocities being meted out to girls and women, with a result that cruelity against the female gender starts receding, and we give to our generations to come a society where a woman is respected in its true essence-as as wife, as a sister, as a mother, as a grand mother et al..is the sole objective of this blog.
Amen.

Hooghly teen raped, murdered TNN | Jul 25, 2012, 03.55AM IST


HARIPAL (HOOGHLY): A teenaged was found raped and murdered in a jute field in Basari village under Haripal police station area on Tuesday afternoon. The father of the girl has alleged that the brother of a CPM panchayat member was behind the crime. Villagers staged an agitation and didn't allow the body of the 15-year-old to be taken away for autopsy, till the police brought sniffer dogs. A case of rape and murder has been registered.
The parents of the deceased are farm labourers and leave home early. "On Tuesday morning, they had left for Sodepur on work. The victim was alone at home. When her father returned home in the afternoon, he couldn't find the girl. When he asked his neighbours they said that the victim was last spotted near a village pond with utensils. Her father rushed to the pond to find the utensils lying, but there was no trace of the girl," said sources.
By then, some other villagers had gathered and one of them asked the victim's father to check the toilet near a jute field, close to the pond. "As soon as the villagers entered the field, they stumbled upon the girl's body. The girl, wearing a nightie, was lying face down in the field. Bantul raised an alarm and other villagers gathered at the spot.
Policemen also reached the spot after being informed by the locals, but were not allowed to get close to the body till the dog squad arrived," said sources.
"I suspect that this crime was committed by the brother of a Gopinathpur gram panchayatmember, which is run by the CPM. This man was after my daughter for long. He came to our village even on Monday evening but we got together and drove him out," alleged the girl's father.
According to Aduri's aunt Shyamali, the accused is a terror in the area and was after her daughter. "The situation turned so bad that I had to send my daughter away from the village," she said.
After the police faced resistance, Chandernagore SDPO Saikat Ghosh went to the village. SomeTrinamool Congress leaders also reached the spot. "The CPM may have lost in the polls , but the party is still terrorizing this area. We demand immediate arrest of the accused," said local Trinamool leader Laltu De. Basab Talukdar, Special IG, Burdwan Range, said that prima facie it seems that the girl was raped. "She was bleeding from her private parts. We suspect rape. Nobody will be spared," he said.
Crime in Hooghly is on the rise in recent times. On Monday evening, the body of a Class-VI student was found by the side of Delhi Road near Srirapur. Md Ismail, a student of Anjuman High School and resident of R K Road in Srirampur left home in the evening with three other youngsters. According to Rajnarayan Mukherjee, SDPO, Srirampur, the trio asked Ismail to join them for fishing at a local pond.
"After being arrested on Monday night, the three admitted that they had thrashed Ismail as his family owed them Rs 4,000. The boy apparently got throttled when the three grabbed him by the throat," Mukherjee said.
