Nagpur.
In a city like Nagpur, the chances of a news featuring rape, eve-teasing, sexual-harassment and molestation cases occurring almost every-day are 90 percent higher than appearance of any other news feature. The victims are not only the women from the adult age bracket, but infants as young as two years old are also been hunted down for the monstrous crime. Apart from this, the fear of being shunned by the society and bearing the brunt throughout the life, keeps away the victim to come forward and raise their voice against the same, leading to repetition of more of such crimes and even educational institutions like schools and colleges are no more safe.
In a recent case that occurred in Lakhadganj area, the police officials have registered a case against three accused who were involved in indecent behavior with a young girl who was standing right in front of her house. One of the accused Devendra Gajanand Kelwadkar was also arrested on February 6, 2015. The police are on the look-out for Devendra’s father and Uncle who are involved in this case.
