Students protest police misdeeds

September 20th, 2007 · View Comments

IBN-CNN is in need of some serious vocabulary help and gender sensitisation. Perhaps they are required by editors to use ‘bizarre’ and ’shocking’ in all events pertaining to the harrassment of women–even though these are only too common to be called as such.

In a bizarre incident, at least 12 cases of eve-teasing were reported from the north campus of Delhi University on Saturday.

Shockingly, the girls were harassed by police recruits who had come to take an entrance exam.

Again, Indian police is giving itself a bad name. Thankfully the students won’t stand for it and have been protesting.

VOICE AGAINST INJUSTICE: IP students say they have faced many such incidents in the past as well.

See this story at Ultra Violet about a gender sensitisation initiative with the Karnataka police.
