In Dec 2016, a 32 year old man lured a 12 year old girl to his room on the pretext of giving her food.

Once there, he allegedly groped her, pressed her breasts through her clothes and tried to remove her salwar.

In Jan 2021, the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court, headed by Justice Pushpa Ganediwala, acquitted the man from the POCSO charges saying there was no "Skin to Skin contact"

In Nov 2021, the Supreme Court quashed the judgement of the High Court setting it aside.

It took 5 years for the courts of this country to take a clear stand on whether the act of squeezing someone's private parts without their consent is an act of sexual assault if they are still wearing their clothes.

It took the top most court of India to look into this matter which even a kid could have clarified, since the absence of consent was already established.

And in these 5 years the girl would have turned 17, being subjected to repeated visualization of her trauma having to re-quote her testimony multiple times in open courts in the front of cunning eyes ...

Cunning, shrewd, lecherous eyes, which were waiting to find a small chink in her story to somehow turn this whole episode in a manner that would make it appear as if it was her fault.

5 years to establish a lousy fact that doesnt even need to be establish.

When you are outraged about a Stand Up Comedian highlighting the number of rapes happening in your country, instead of being outraged about the actual rapes happening in your country, there is something seriously wrong with you.
