Abhimanyu

Judicial rap cover-up
Secrecy continues to prevail over the brutal gangrape and murder of  athe 23-year-old paramedic student with the court deciding for in-cmaera trial of the entire case. Meanwhile  as the police continues to guard its superior officers, the Delhi High Court took strong  exception to the fact that only a junior police officer was suspended in connection  with  the gangrape of a 23-year-old student here and that senior cops, including the Police  Commissioner, have not been made accountable. “Why only ACP, why not DCP, why not  the Commissioner have been put to task?” a bench headed by Chief Justice D Murugesan  said while expressing its anguish over the non-disclosure of the names of policemen  who were patrolling the areas where the girl was raped in a moving bus on December 16.

Not upto the task
With incidents of sexual assault on women continuing unabated, the home ministry  decides to clamp down on Delhi’s nightlife. The home ministry has orders shutting down  of music in Delhi’s discotheques by 12:30 am and complete shut down by 1 am. 1091 will  be distress helpline. In separate meetings with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Tejinder  Khanna,  Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar, Home  Minister Sushilkumar Shinde reviewed the security situation  besides functioning of the  police. The question here is will shutting of discos and clamping down on city’s night life  prevent crime against women ?  Some feel till mindset of  people across the country is not  changed, the crime against women would continued unabated.

Britain tops record
If  you think rapes happen only in India, think again. Mirror News reports that crime  statistics in UK show show 15,934 rapes were reported to police here in 2010 – about one  every 40 minutes. Yet the British Crime Survey, which studies victims of crimes that also  went unreported, puts the figure at 80,000 a year. That’s one every seven minutes. In  2006-07, 800 men were convicted of rape. That’s one per cent of all the people who  probably raped someone. One per cent. A poll by Amnesty International found a third of  all Britons thought a woman who had flirted with her attacker was partly or completely to  blame for being raped. This poll was in 2005, not 1605, and it also found nearly twice as  many women as men thought a victim was “totally to blame” if she was drunk. In Norway,  one in 10 women are raped. There, a similar Amnesty poll found 48 per cent of men think  a flirtatious woman is asking for it and 20 per cent thought it was fine if she’d had several  sexual partners. Sweden has twice as many rapes per head of the population as the UK. In  South Africa a survey of 1,500 schoolboys in Soweto found a quarter of them thought  gang rape was fun. According to the UN only one in 10 male rape victims worldwide will  ever report it.

In America, one in five women are raped and not long ago it was reported Judge Derek  Johnson, dealing with a rapist who had threatened to mutilate his victim with a heated  screwdriver, said: “I’m not a gynaecologist, but I can tell you something, if someone  doesn’t want to have sexual intercourse the body shuts down. The body will not permit  that to happen unless a lot of damage is inflicted, and we heard nothing about that in this  case… The victim in this case, although not necessarily willing, she didn’t put up a fight.”

Soft on Razakar
Why was the delay in taking action against Akabaruddin Owaisi, the MIM MLA, who  opnely indulged in a hate speech ?  Why this lenient attitude when there is a universal  condemnation of his (MIM MLA’s) highly objectionable comments. It is the Congress  which helped MIM to grow. They still share power in Hyderabad Corporation. Is this the  reason why they are soft?  MIM had recently withdrawn support to Congress both at the  Centre and in Andhra Pradesh but both parties continue to share power in the Greater  Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).The Congress government has failed to take  action against the MIM leaders promptly though they violated the law on many occasions  in the past. Notices were issued to Owaisi on January 4 directing him to appear before  investigating officers of Nirmal (Rural) police in Adilabad district today and before the  Nizambad II Town police on Tuesday. Another notice was served on Owaisi by the  Osmania University Police directing him to appear before them on January 10. Two FIRs were registered suo moto in Adilabad and Nizamabad districts, while a third  case was filed against the MLA by Osmania University Police following a court directive  after he allegedly used ‘inflammatory and derogatory’ language against a particular  community at public functions last month.  Owaisi has been booked under IPC sections  153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of  birth, language etc. and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and 295A  (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by  insulting its religion or religious beliefs). He has also been booked under IPC section 121  (waging or attempting to wage war, or abetting waging of war, against the Government of  India).
