What is wrong with our society nowadays? We talk about Independence and giving girls equal respect and this is what we do?
A 1st year Ph.D. student of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was allegedly raped by an activist of the AISA named Anmol Ratan on Saturday. The incident took place inside the boys’ hostel.
According to the complaint filed by her at Vasant Kunj (North) police station, she had posted on her Facebook profile that she wanted to watch ‘Sairat’ movie and asked if anyone had a CD of it. It said Anmol Ratan apparently messaged her saying that he had a copy. Thereafter, he picked her up yesterday on the pretext of giving her a CD of the film and took her to Brahamputra Hostel, where he stays.
She said in the complaint that he offered her a spiked drink and allegedly raped her. He also threatened her and asked her not to report the matter. But, the girl took the step forward and filed the complaint.
On the basis of the statement of complaint, a case has been registered and further investigation is in progress.
After hearing all this, this was the statement by Ashutosh Kumar, AISA Delhi State Secretary, “AISA will be unflinching for the principles of gender justice even if it involves a leading member of the organisation. We stand by the complainant and will extend all possible support in her fight for justice.”
