Silence abets Crime

This was mid summer. Roads are bathing by the scorching sun rays. A bus full of passenger was running on the road. There was enough crowd inside the bus. It was very difficult to move inside the bus. It was very difficult situation for the people specially for women. Youths with lose character are trying to assault ladies under the shadow of crowd. This was criminal infested areas and some youth are very daring and they were in habit of molesting ladies in the bus. All passengers were merely mute spectator. Non of them had guts to oppose such things. Suddenly one lady cried and told the driver to take the bus to the nearby police station. There was such commanding sound in the voice of the lady that all got feared and the driver simply followed her order. All the passenger were stunned by such sudden cry and daring nature of the lady. All youth also was stunned to see the retaliation.

The bus reached at the Police Station. The police saluted her. All the passenger took normal deep breath and felt relaxed. Youth were palpitated by such move. She bastinadoed all the youth bitterly and let them locked up. Then she ordered all the passenger to put off their clothes. All these people followed the order by fear. Then she told to lie down on the road which is already to hot due to scorching sun rays. She told all they were only mute spectator. None of them had gut to protect the dignity of fello ladies. They were actually promoting such anti social activities by maintaining silence. So they were actually criminal and they were equally punishable. If all will raise the voice against crime, then criminal will be too weak to do crime. It is not the duty of Police only to protect the citizen, but it is the prime job of citizen themselves.

She was actually police officer and used to walk here and there in non uniform to check such moves. This insidence happened in some village of the Uttar Pradesh State.
