Girl groped in Mumbai by Mob

It was the night of 31st dec 2006. The crowd had gathered to witness fireworks at Gateway Of India, Mumbai. As the clock was reaching 12:00 am. The crowd was going berserk and anxiously waiting for new year. There were around more than 1000 people gathered to witness the celebrations. A girl with her male friend was also present in the crowd to witness the same. But to her nightmare, few shameless men started to molest the girl. Her male friend stepped in to stop them. But rather then supporting her friend , more people joined and groped her. In a minute around 70 people surrounded her and torned her clothes. Her friend was helplessly beaten who was trying to protect her. The whole drama continued for around 10 minutes. During this incident the girl fell down and the disgusting men pounded on her.

Similiar incident were reported with few other women in the same gathering after this incident. Strangely there was not much done by policemen who present in the police post. It is quite pathetic and sad that these incidents happen in the country which bring shame to the city and country. The traumatized girl could not be identified and the couple have not complained in the police to prevent further embarrassment.

Its quite more strange when I raised this issue in one of the indian forums. My thread was deleted as most of the members were from mumbai and they did not like my view point. Its shameless mumbai .
