Judgement....BIJAL JOSHI rape case........

A girl so very deep in love with what she thought was her final destination. She blindfolding believes and trusts when her boyfriend calls her to celebrate the new year eve at Hotel Ashok Palace in Osmanpur on 31st Dece.2003.

After heavy drinks and a night what the spoilt rich brats of the stinking wealthy fathers believe as an enhancement of their man-hood, the helpless girl is not only raped by her boyfriend but his four more friends also plunge into the flowing waters of sex and sleaze shredding into smithereens the very pious five lettered word --LOVE, on whose very foundation of trust and faith she ventured to celebrate the party. After 7 days the helpless soul having been a prey to 5 vultures committed suicide naming all the accused in her suicide note for gang rape and torture. Her body bearing several bite marks was a testimony to the harrowing night she must have passed through after being ditched for lust in the name of love.

The main accused of the high end society crime Sajal is the son of an industrialist and owner of Delhi's Apollo Millennium Hospital and is the Delhi based dealer of Mahek Gutkha, two more accused Chandan and Ashok Jaiswal are sons of wealthy hotel owner Pannalal.

The verdict of district judge JYOTSNA YAGNIK in awarding LIFE-IMPRISONMENT to 5 accused still did not show any remorse trickling down the facial expressions of the culprits as their pictures splashed the pages of the newspapers. But somewhere I am sure Bijal joshi's soul must be resting in peace after 4 and a half years of trial.

The judge must be complimented for not giving under any temptations of the obnoxiously stinking wealthy families although death sentence should have been a better option for this rarest of the rare case in which one shudders to think what the helpless victim who by default herself walked into her death cage must have gone through at the hands of 5 drunk wolves masquerading as men pouncing on her flesh as some hot mutton-tikka served with wine.

One needs to ponder over the fact -- Why does a victim have to commit suicide for the wheels of justice to start rolling? Why does it take one innocent life for the administration to wake off its slumber and do what they are paid to do? The latest case of a disillusioned victim to end her life in a letter to the then Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court Justice Karpagavinayagam( in which case the judge showed exemplary sense of moral duty and acted swiftly), another victim consuming pesticides in the office of the Addl. DGP Haryana in a desperate attempt to get justice after being raped by the constables in a nation that never forgets to glorify having the first woman President, a very powerful Iron Lady as an ex-P.M. , one of the most powerful woman as the national party's Chairperson, the first woman C.M., first woman in space etc,etc... is but a shame in the society that still sees women as an object of sexual gratification and instant satisfying lust, a denial of justice and an epitome of exploitation.

Well I believe--" A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT RESPECT IT'S WOMEN CAN NEVER PROGRESS"...............
