Humanity and Police callousness…

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…
