Today on the eve of Maha-Shivratri, I would have talked on some other matter uttering the power of Lord Shiva or people and their faith in Lord Shiva or some of the memories of childhood related to Shivratri But Today's incident in Delhi Metro didn't let me.
I was travelling in Delhi Metro today. It was around 10:55 AM, when I reached at Kashmiri Gate and changed the Metro from Red Line to Yellow Line towards Rajiv Chowk. Getting a seat in Delhi Metro is tedious task so I usually keep myself leaned to a pole in the middle of the Metro or occupy one of the two side place immediately against the door which gives comfort not only me but lots of passenger. I was leaned on a pole immediately the gate.
A group of three girls were occupying both the side place of the gate, two on the right side and one on the left. As the metro reached Chandni chowk, A girl from right moved to her another friend on the left. The Metro left the Chandni Chowk Station towards Chavri Bazar. But in the middle of these two station, a gentleman, may be aged of my father, stood up and started to shout & beat a young boy, may be aged in 20is,. Using a rude behavior and wrong/abusive word distracted not only me but almost all the people there.
As he kept beating & using such words, we went into the scene to resolve the issues being totally unknown to the issue. Then he could merely say all the incident, "The boy tried to touch his lower parts with the girls hand, then he unzipped and took out his penis and tried to make see the girl to his private part, as soon as Iiiiii... saw this disgusting scene, i became out of control". I was totally shoked with his words and could not imagine the scene as it was bothering me.
The people took to participate and started to beat him badly including me. some of them said to handover him to the police but I was in different thinking which I could not done through. I thought why not to cut his penis which he dared to took out to do such shameful act in the public not scared of the hundreds of people around him.
Facing all these act, the train arrived at Chavri Bazar station and he was handed over to the cops. The train moved ahead. But the scene inside the Metro was..... The girl was too scared and started to cry.....Lot of people tried to console her. All the scene was flashing in my mind not only during my journey but in class as well. I shared all these incidents to my friend in the class. I could see tears in his eyes.
I don't know what would the police be doing with him. I think they will be leave him after beating till public satisfaction there. But yaar.... how can anyone do this... It's not first case but I have read similar incident on Facebook and who are not aware of viral mms which media was showing months before? Nothing to say except "Must react, if any incident happens with you... the people are not numb, they will support you. I will support You, We are with you".
