Rape, Molestation Are On Rise Around Us... But Hey! Let's Carry On With the "Whataboutery"!

Every time someone expresses one's concern over how women in our country are ceaselessly facing the evils of rape, molestation and discrimination, they are unabashedly ridiculed by a large host of people who come with the absurd whataboutery to counter legit arguments against misogyny and harassment.

Anyway, certain numbers have come forward through the minister of state for home affairs revealing the horrible truth which the enemies of womankind are bent on denying.

As many as 140 cases of rape and 238 cases of molestation were registered by Delhi Police in January this year alone, of which 43 and 133 cases respectively remain unsolved. 

The number of rape cases registered in 2016 was 2,155, of which 291 were unsolved, while there were 4,165 molestation cases of which 1,132 are unsolved. 

There were 36 rape cases registered against Delhi Police personnel in the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. Of these, 28 were registered in Delhi and 8 in other states. While two of these cases were cancelled or quashed, in six cases there were aquittals while 28 cases are pending trial or investigation. 

Ninety cases of molestation and 9 cases of eve-teasing were also registered against Delhi Police personnel in these three years. 

The details were tabled in the Rajya Sabha by minister of state for home affairs Hans Raj Ahir during Question Hour. 

According to the details provided by the minister, 51 cases of eve-teasing were registered, of which 25 remain unsolved. 

“The reasons for unsolved cases vary from case to case. However, some of the main reasons include non- identification of the accused person, stay on the arrest of the accused by courts, insufficient evidence or the accused person is absconding and not traceable,” the minister said.

A 15 Year Old Girl Accidentally Lands Up In Delhi; Rest, You Know, Is All Rape and Torture

As the idea of "feminism" ceaselessly suffers hindering blows from pseudo-feminists and men's rights activists, those truly in need of this very basic idea continue to fall prey to sexual predators. And that too right under the noses of those who ridicule people who put forward endeavours towards women empowerment and the eradication of rape.

Read this incident reported by PTI, which narrates how a 15 year old girl, who boarded a wrong train and landed up in Delhi fell into the hands of a bunch of grotesquely vile people, one of them sadly, but not so surprisingly, a woman herself:

A 15-year- old girl who mistakenly reached Delhi after boarding a wrong train in Chhattisgarh was kidnapped, raped and sold to a person with the help of a woman before being rescued by the Delhi Commission for Women. 

Two people have been arrested for trafficking the girl who was rescued from an area near Humayun’s Tomb on Friday. 

The girl was travelling in a train in Chhattisgarh in October to visit her relatives, but mistakenly boarded a wrong train and reached Delhi. 

At the Delhi railway station, she met one Arman who was selling water bottles, said a senior police officer. 

He took her to Sarai Kale Khan and raped her with the help of his wife Hasheena, he said. 

The couple then sold her for Rs 70,000 to one Pappu Yadav so he could marry the minor, he said. 

“She was living in Faridabad for close to two months with Pappu who physically and mentally tortured her. She somehow left his house and reached Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station where Hasheena met her and gave her a spiked drink,” he added. 

When she fell semi-conscious, Hasheena handed her over to one Mohammad Afroz, 22. 

“He raped her near the railway station and paid the sum to Hasheena. The victim somehow managed to escape and was noticed by a passerby who made a PCR call,” said the officer. 

She was rescued and a case under sections 363 (Punishment for kidnapping), 366 (Kidnapping, abducting or inducing woman to compel her marriage), 376 (Punishment for rape), 328 (Causing hurt by means of poison, with intent to commit an offence), 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) read with 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the IPC and 4 POCSO Act has been registered at Sunlight Colony police station. 

She is undergoing counselling after being examined at AIIMS hospital. 

“After several raids in Sarai Kale Khan and Faridabad, Mohammad Afroz and Pappu Yadav have been arrested. Efforts are being made to arrest the remaining accused,” he said. 

Police are also adding sections under Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006 based on the information available.

The only positive thing about this is that the police managed to come down heavy upon the perpetrators of the evils upon the girl. The society, though will continue establishing its "whataboutery" to deviate themselves and others from the argument of crime against the feminine population of the world.
