Terrible Incident
Some days back, maybe last sunday, something happened that made me feel sick... made me even cry the following night. But I must record it for good. It was a regular day, I went to saket to meet surbhi generally. It was almost 10:30 when I started heading back home in metro. When i reached rajiv chowk, where i needed to change metro, i went up to stand in queue on the platform. There was a big guy in front of me who looked drunk and he was shamelessly staring at a young girl standing in front of him. Occasionally he would step forward and stare her facing her straight like an animal. Poor girl was undoubtedly shaken at his behavior and all she could do was call somebody on her phone and start a conversation. This whole thing really made me uncomfortable and I went around to find a cop or someone to lodge a protest and complain but i found nobody. I came back and decided to get involved. The guy was huge but drunk to my advantage so I came close to him and tried to push him without letting him know my intentions. This helped in getting his attention onto me rather than on the girl. He stared at me in anger and i stared back in his eyes. After a few moments he went back to his business (of staring the girl in the most vulgar way) so I pushed him again, much to his anger but before he could react, train arrived and he started planning how to get hold of the girh while she was getting in... as the door opened, i gently held the girls hand and pushed that bhenchod inside the train. After that the girl enetred the train, to my utter surprise and disgust, he started chaing her - poucing at her.... bastard! I kind of started acting as a wall between him and the girl. I kept jumping between them. And soon as the bastard started to talk to a co-traveller, i realized that he was a cop!! I knew i couldnt get him straight on then. So I kep pushing him away from the girl. I even tried a bit of chest fight! ;) although he was big but i realized we were equal in might because he was drunk as hell... well, after a few stations, he deboarded without being able to touch the girl, thankfully! The incident reminded me of a few things - 1. in delhi nobody gives a damn about anyone else 2. that delhi is the rape capital of the world is no lie 3. similar things must have happened to girls and women i love and care about. It made me utterly angry and filled me with disgust. Will ever be law and order restored back in this city? ever?
