Guwahati: On Friday the 13th, India confronted a real-life nightmare which assaulted the country’s senses. A young woman was molested by nearly 50 men swaggering for a TV camera; equally chilling are the dozens of people who stood by cheering with rapacious frenzy while indifferent drivers refused to stop as she begged for help.
The footage of the crime was first aired on Monday night by Newslive, a local Guwahati channel, barely minutes after a reporter and cameraperson shot a mob of around 50 people pushing a young girl hitting her, stripping her. The footage was edited – so it showed just the policemen arriving to rescue the girl, about 20 minutes after she was attacked.
The chronology of what happened that night is still being pieced together. The police says the victim and two girls with her were in a bar on a busy Guwahati road with two men. A fight broke out. As they emerged from the pub, the victim was in a physical fight with one of the men. People at a rickshaw stand nearby tried to separate the pair, but soon the crowd turned on the girl. As they attacked her, she tried to sprint away, knocked on car windows for help. Nobody stopped. Nobody intervened. The mob is seen jeering as it drags her back, groping her. Amar Jyoti Kalita rips off her shirt.
On Friday night, chief minister Tarun Gogoi held a press conference – the first comment by the state government on the incident – and said the law and order in Guwahati needs to improve. Not the sort of leadership or crisis management that a country is demanding.

As i give my comment at the times of india i would like to mention again this incident is one of the big sad, worse and creepy in the mankind sin. I imagine this how it could be happen and how could be end or eliminate. Anyway it is a big impact in the mankind sin desire obviously.When i heard some of the molestor were arrested by the police i thanks to God. Without doubt all the rest would be arrested quickly.As a christian even i don’t have anythingelse to give and offer for the victim recovery i do really pity and pray for her to continue her life without despair.
