Update: I changed the title. It was meant as angry irony, but – well I can see why it didn’t work.
And in Uttar Pradesh – a teenage girl resists “eve teasing” and the guy who was “eve teasing” her, i.e. demanding sex from her, throws kerosene on her and sets her on fire.
She died.
The girl, who suffered nearly 90 per cent burns, was rushed to the District Hospital and later she was referred to Aligarh Medical College for better treatment.
Mourning the death, the girl’s father said that the police had not taken action against the culprit who had used his influence to harass his daughter.
“I had complained to the police. If they had acted then, my daughter would not have had to suffer so much pain. I am a weak man, and the culprit is powerful. Also, I am a poor man, and my tea stall is all I have to sustain my children with,” said the victim’s father.
“Teasing” is not the right word.
