A real life incident which took place
yesterday in our vicinity, made me believe that humanity does exist even today.
My
hubby has a routine of going for a walk in evening. Yesterday evening, while on
his routine walk, just few meters away from our house, there is a bus stop. Few
people had gathered around a young girl. He thought, maybe she has met with an
accident or had fainted… she looked like an average, college going girl from a
decent family.
Further
enquiry revealed that, the girl was under influence of drugs… a college boy
from the group told he saw the girl chatting with some boy, who then walked
away & she consumed some powder… she was asking the passers-by to give her
10rs…
She
was also acting weird… so the gathered people started asking her “who are you?”,
“what happened?”, “do you need any help??” etc. etc… But she screamed “leave me
alone …”
Then
suddenly she got up and she started to walk, briskly…
So
all the people who had gathered there, of them, there was a couple with a kid
on their bike, their main concerns were that anyone might take advantage of her
in this state. So few exchanged their cell numbers and they formed two groups.
One group started to follow that girl while others started to call up police or
went to look up for them…
On
calling Kashmira police station, they told it falls under Shrushti Police
chowky and vice versa… On calling again and again they were told to look up for
police patrol van. Finally when they succeeded on finding one, the police told
to hold on the girl till they come…
Meanwhile
the girl here was trying to give the people following her, a slip and finally
she did manage…
Still
all the people tried to find her…The entire incident took nearly 30-45 minutes…
but still in this busy life people looked into this matter… Why??? Just because
for them their main concern was nobody takes her undue advantage of the girl in
this inebriated stage…
But
Police “the law” as usual showed their callousness by passing their
responsibility here and there. They were least bothered to what was happening
or to the fact that a girl’s life (maybe) was at risk…
But at least this incident reinstated my belief that humanity does exist… In recent
years my experiences off life had made me lose my belief in humanity…
And
to all parents, please keep an eye on your kids…Only giving them money or
buying in their demands is not enough… All they need is your time, attention
and lots of LOVE…
