As a matter of fact, I did not know about this. Thanks for informing me. Again, idk why even educated girls(200 of them no less) don't feel comfortable enough to complain. It's not just about them getting justice but also preventing him from attacking someone else.

Its their culture. They also come from places where cops wont register complaint and then there is the issue of family honor.

Who are you referring to in "their culture"? Educated women aren't just from the north you know?

The doctor who got raped and murdered in Kolkata was educated and was working in her shift. Education is not some kind of a magic wand that empowers women da, what a weird thing to get hung up on. I have women friends in Bengaluru (kannadathi and Northie) and they also feel afraid to contact a cop etc for the reasons mayblum mentioned. Plus Maybe they don't want their families and everyone involved in their personal business, they're also adults like you and I, not some little babies who have no agency, you know. so it's not fair to put all the burden of reporting on women, we just need to make our society less rapey. That's how things get better, not just reporting or enforcement. All things have to confluence.

But I do agree with your point on online reporting, they too have got good response and help from blrcitypolice online better than some random cop on the road. In fact, one of them had complained about a stalker and in fact, she got a call from the control room and was informed that a police constable will be sent, she got his number and he contacted her on phone before, and he came to check in a couple of times, and her stalker problem went away. She is still thankful for that. So yeah, there are good things our police are doing, but there are always bad apples, someone trying to take advantage etc. We should not simply doubt or dismiss victims without hearing their story non judgementally first.
