The Mukherjee Nagar police have finally registered an FIR against the candidates for recruiting to the Delhi police who had molested four girls in the Kingsway Camp area. The girls, all of them from the North-East, were on their way to attend a cultural program at the police community hall when the hoodlums, waiting to take their final exam on Sunday, dragged them out of rickshaws and sexually assaulted them.
Scared to go alone
Talking to MiD DAY, one of the victims said, “Yesterday I got a call from the SHO that the police had finally registered an FIR and they wanted us to collect a copy of it. I did not want to go to the police stat alone so I did not go on Monday. However a lady constable from the Mukherjee Nagar police station called me up on Tuesday and told me that she would hand me the FIR. I am glad that they have at least registered a case against those men.”
Serious Hope?
Lucky Mugheto, chairman, North-East Community said, “I am glad that the FIR has been registered now. At least the police will take up the case seriously and arrest the accused.”
On Monday, Mid DAY had reported that four girls who were on their way to attend the North-East cultural festival were molested by the examinees on Saturday.
It’s official now
A senior police officer from the Mukherjee Nagar police station confirmed that the FIR had been registered against the accused. He said, “Yesterday in the evening, we changed their complaint into an FIR. The accused have been booked under section 354 of the Indian Penal Code. We have even told them that we will personally deliver the FIR at their residence if they cannot come here. Though it is difficult to identify the culprit but we are investigating the case from all angles. A lady inspector has been made the investigating officer.”
Not the only case
According to the police officers there were quite a few cases of eve teasing and molestation in the area that day. “The police will now beef up the security in the area. They will keep an eye in the miscreants of that area. We had received order from our officers that the area should be monitored and such incidents should be avoided.
MiD DAY tried to get in touch with Manish Agarwal (DCP (North-West), but he could not be contacted despite repeated attempt as his cell phone was switched off.

"The Duty Officer Mr. Nalka Ram refused to entertain the complaint"
What's this supposed to mean? If this guy can refuse to entertain a complaint even on the insistance of the senior big shots, how can we hepless students file/lodge a complaint? It's really disturbing.
Matter has gone to media and police registered the case this evening and accused is arrested.
Police need to register this under SC/ST Atrocity Prevention Act as the victim belongs to ST category.
Its always sad to hear the atrocities and the discrimination in the capital city of India to the people from the NE india...i really feel its time to do something constructive ans effective..we have to take some serious steps to prevent all this unhealthy ..activties..its nice to hear that at least we have a help center now...lets make sure that it really work effectively.
