In the early hours of the first day of the new year ,two women in Mumbai were molested by a mob of around 80 odd people.The two women were not alone,they were escorted by two male friends,but it was of no help.Initially lewd comments were passed at them which forced one of the women to shout back at the rowdy group and this acted as a trigger for the group of perverts to attack the two women.The ordeal continued for 15 minutes before a policeman arrived on the scene and just dispersed the mob instead of arresting these criminals.This is not the first time that women have been targeted by unruly mob.During the victory procession of 20-20 winning team ,few girls of a mumbai college were molested and there was no news of any arrests being made.It is this callousness on the part of law enforcement agencies which allows perverts to indulge in such activities without any fear of being punished.The society at large also needs to introspect as to what makes not one or two but a group of 80 people to attack and molest two women and none among them tried to stop this outrage.And the police must make this case a precedent whereby all those who can be identified through the photographs should be rounded up and prosecuted under relevant sections.

I once read that cases of molestations and eve teasing are non existent in places like the middle east- UAE, reason being-people who are convicted have their hands chopped off!! I firmly believe that we should have a similar law here which should serve as a very strong deterrent to such heinous acts. I understand, the 'Human Rights' people would have strong reservations against such a law but again why should there be a Human rights Law for Animals who do not know how to exercise their rights?!
