Howrah sub-inspector Argha Chakraborthy was suspended on Thursday for allegedly harassing a "woman advocate" ( funny huh ) and trying to lure her into prostitution. ( batao :)) )
According to a sting operation by a tv channel ( phir aa gaye ye gareebon ke masiha), Chakraborthy allegedly harried Gargi Biswas, a Dum Dum resident, for over 9 months saying he would get "clients" for her. Worse still, he did this knowing well she was a practising advocate of calcutta high court.
I have been living in a utopian world since my childhood. So there are certain things which I am unable to comprehend..
a) What kind of advocate the girl was if she was being harassed by the sub-inspector for nine months..aam aadmi court kachahri ke chakkar se darte hain.. but she was practising in calcutta high court..if she cant defend herself what about the millions of ordinary indians??
b) How come the Sub-inspector was so fearless.. If he treats an advocate in this manner.. there must be at least 100 girls thrown in prostitution by him..
c) And finally these tv channels.. I think they are interrupting too much.. May be in this case we can appreciate the fact that they helped the girl.. but i feel that this is setting a bad example.
This can lead us to a world where unless these people come, we wont get justice.. how??
I would like to compare it with the working of NGOs. To emprove the financial condition of these NGOs some filmstars, sportstars, youthicons started doing shows and requesting people to contribute to them. Now, we must agree, all of us tend to give money to only those NGOs who can hire ( or persuade euphemistically ) these big stars. ( i doubt anyone who is reading this blog has ever donated though )
I fear same can happen to the ordinary citizen of this country.( or why this country?? this is true for even developed countries. )
I am keeping my fingers crossed. what about you??
