---------------------------------

Hi all,



This is not a forward… This is a fact happened to my friend and I just wanted to share with you all so that you will all be careful about yourselves... Please don't think like some one has sent me this mail and I am forwarding that…It's me (Swetha) sending this mail on behalf of my very best friend. Please don't ask for name; I don't want to mention that.



On March 13th 2008 my friend had to go Mehdipatnam from Kothaguda. It was around 9:30 P.M. She was waiting for bus in the Kothaguda bus stop. As she dint find any bus coming, she thought of going in share auto (4 seater) till Gachibowli. She saw one auto coming. In that auto there was one person sitting with driver. After that another person asked driver whether it goes to Gachibowli or not. As the driver told it will go, then that guy got into that auto... My friend saw all these and she also got into the auto…Auto started... And in each and every stop that driver is asking for people telling "Gachibowli.. Gachibowli..." One more guy got into the auto in the next stop… I guess you all know JayaBheri Silicon Valley… At that place there is a road towards IIIT… That auto driver turned the auto into that route… My friend asked him "Bhayya… kyoo aisa jaarey…seeda ja sakthey na…(Brother, why are you going in this way… go in the straight route..)"…Then auto driver replied like "no madam…there is a short cut…" After moving few yards he turned to left, where there is no proper road way at least…The guy sitting with my friend shouted telling "Don't you know the routes…Naya Hai ka Hyderabad ko (Are you new to Hyd) … Then the driver dint reply anything… and in one lonely place he stopped the auto… The guy who got into the auto in the next stop got down and came to the other side of the auto where my friend is sitting and he pushed her inside and closed her mouth… and the other guy sitting beside her hold her hands… the person sitting in the front grabbed her gold chain… Gold chain was little strong and as he continuously pulling that she got rashes on her neck and it started bleeding… auto driver pulled her hand bag… which contains one mobile, 7500/- cash and many more things… they took her finger ring also… When she started shouting, that driver told, "Kya rape karna hai kya… kyue chillarey… rape karkey fake dunga…" she was trying to put her leg outside and tried to show her leg, so that if one sees that they can save her… but no one came there… finally after taking all the things they throwed her outside telling "Sorry madam… paisa ka inthejaam mein…"



She is alone and with out a single rupee in her hand… she walked towards road… she found some tents where the construction people stay… She explained the complete story with one family and she asked for help… Luckily they are good enough to help her and they came with her and dropped her in her house… And they explained like "This place is called as MASJID BANDA and these things happen here frequently… you are lucky that they dint do anything for you… Usually these auto drivers will rape the girls, Kill them and they trough them in Durgamcheruvu…"



This is not either MUMBAI or BANGLORE… Now this is in Hyderabad… Please don't stay in office or any place after 7:30… No one will be responsible if something happens to us… Be careful… I just wanted to warn you all… Thanks for sparing time to read this…



And one more thing is no one of us are strong enough to drop a police complaint on these idiots being in the scare of future problems… these fellows are roaming outside without any fear... Please take care…Remember that you are responsible for yourself…



Girls be aware here after and guys inform your friends to be aware...

Hi there,

I believe that girls should not be confined indoors, even if going out poses a risk. Here are some safety tips to consider:

1. Always carry a penknife for self-defense.
2. Stay vigilant and go out with a buddy.
3. Set up a speed dial on your mobile that you can use quickly without looking.
4. Inform someone about your whereabouts and expected return time.
5. If you sense something wrong (e.g., taking a shortcut or being approached by suspicious individuals), alert someone immediately. Get off the vehicle promptly and find another mode of transportation.

I hope these suggestions will assist in keeping our girls safe.

Seems to be part of daily news tabloid. Suggestively, girls can have a small spray in their purse which can be used in situations where they feel threatened or insecure. The spray contains MIRCHI LIQUID, which paralyzes such criminals immediately when sprayed on the face. Simultaneously, the girl should seek immediate help if moving on an isolated road (have the police control room number in your mobile on fast dial mode) and call the police control room.

I'm glad you shared this incident. But the answer lies in being able to do something positive about it, like noting down the Auto No. and reporting to the police, rather than accepting a defeatist attitude. As our society progresses, these law and order problems will have to be resolved by proactive actions on our part. IT firms must have helplines available on each employee's mobile where one can dial immediately for an active response.

Hi all,

I know what happened was inhumane and bad. But the question is, aren't you people overreacting to the entire issue? Not only we people but also the media.

Robbery, loot, murder, kidnaps, blackmailing happen to everybody around the world, both with males as well as females. An additional crime with women is rape. But the point is, it is just another crime! Why so much hue and cry over the issue?

We need not be sentimental about these things. Yes, as a human being, it gives a bad taste and creates a sense of insecurity and frustration when any such incident happens in our proximity.

But making a crime a bigger issue just because the sufferer is a female does not make any sense. Let us accept it, face it, and be ready for it. That's it. Still, such things may happen, and they will happen, no matter how well you are equipped and how strong the politicization is.

I know many of you won't buy these ideas of mine, but the sooner we accept the facts, the better we will be to handle such crimes.

Hi Swetha,

I used to live there in HB colony. Even being a male, I have faced the same problem. Once I lost my chain and a few hundred while coming back from my office to home. Immediately, I just changed my residence. That's the only thing I thought of and did. It is not a matter of whether you are working late. Please make sure while joining any company whether they are providing any transportation facilities or make your own arrangements.

This is not an isolated incident. Day by day, the frequency of such incidents is increasing. I feel pity for being in this society where women are not given any respect. As far as women are concerned, they become totally helpless in such situations. What else can we, the men, do? Just to regret for whatever had happened.

The employment situation has changed so much that even women are forced to stay back in the office late at night. There are specific provisions in labor enactments regarding the employment time of women, under which women are not supposed to work during the night. Even the amendment made in this regard in the Factories Act also states that the employer should take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of women employees employed during the night. It is the primary responsibility of the employer to ensure that women employees reach home safely after their work. But who follows all these?

To be on the safer side, it is better, before stepping out of the office at odd times, to make a call home or to a friend and wait for someone to come and pick up. Though it may sound impractical, I prefer that ladies be alert and do not enter into any shared rickshaw or taxi.

Thanks for sharing, and may such things not repeat.

Greetings!!

Nice lesson to all girls. Not all days are alike, and there is no guarantee nowadays for safety, not only for girls but boys too. Girls, never think you are brave enough to fight all situations. Just imagine your situation if you are surrounded by a gang of at least 7-8 people.

- Always have company with you, either a boy whom you trust or a girl.
- Never use public transport late at night; use your own vehicle or it's safe to go by cab. If anything happens, we can always lodge a complaint and get back our things. We can trust cab drivers, but auto drivers are there today and vanished the next day.
- Always use your elbow to hit because it's the strongest part of our body to fight.
- Always hit in private places; until the person recovers, you can at least reach a distance away from him.
- You can hit using your handbag hard or push him to the ground and run in the opposite direction to save your life.
- Alternatively, you can try to escape by saying that you are going through some personal problem.
- If the person really wants money, give it because nothing is more important than our life. Save your life.

Hope this is helpful.

- Always have company with you, either a boy whom you trust or a girl.
- Avoid using public transport late at night; use your own vehicle or opt for a cab. In case of any incident, you can always file a complaint and retrieve your belongings. Cab drivers are more trustworthy compared to auto drivers who may disappear the next day.
- Use your elbow to hit as it is the strongest part of your body for self-defense.
- Aim for sensitive areas until the person is incapacitated, giving you a chance to get away.
- You can hit hard with your handbag or push the attacker to the ground and run in the opposite direction to ensure your safety.
- Alternatively, try to escape by mentioning a personal issue.
- If the assailant demands money, give it because nothing is more valuable than your life. Remember, prioritize your safety above all else.

It's something common and happens almost every day in this real big democratic country, India. But there's no one who could raise voice and scream against the culprits, all because of our social norms and non-supportive members of the society. Why not complain against them when we had to tolerate so much? Why not throw those bastards behind the bars? You should complain against them.

Hi Swetha,

Thank you for sharing this. I hope this information will be useful to every girl who is working.

Girls, always be alert. Carry a penknife or blade with you for safety, and also keep some red chili powder in a cover. This will be very helpful in case of an emergency.

Take care, girls.

Thanks for the information. Even when I was in the hostel, we all had to keep in mind that our safety comes first. Once, my friend and I were coming back from the main city of Indore. We were the last two left in the bus. Generally, it happened that only a few were left in the bus around 8.30 pm. However, we felt safe when we used to travel in the city bus, which was newly started because the condition of this bus was much better than the other buses going towards Mhow.

That day, when we were about to reach our college (the hostel was in the college campus), the bus driver asked for our names. We had covered our faces with dupattas long before. We gave fake names. Gradually, he started to talk, asking about our course, but we just ignored his questions. Finally, when we were about to get down, he said, "Kabhi hamare saath bhi bike par ghoomne chaliye. Bahut acchi tarah Indore darshan karvayenge." We just got out and ran towards our college gate.

All people are not the same, but girls have to take care of themselves wherever they go.

Hi,

Thanks to all for sharing these posts. It's really very sad to hear all this from a place like Hyderabad. Girls, please take care of yourselves; no one will be responsible for any incident like this.

- Try to carry a blade or pen knife.
- Inform someone at home about your late working hours in the office and how you are going to commute.
- Avoid going alone at odd times.

So, girls, be careful. Anyone can do anything at any time.

You can use deodorants in self-defense, ladies (spray it in the face of the mugger). You don't have to go and purchase the chili/pepper sprays.

Also, another easier way is to pretend that you are speaking with someone (on your mobile) and constantly keep mentioning how far you have reached and how soon you should reach wherever you are supposed to reach. A friend of mine uses this technique not just in the city but also whenever she is traveling.

Be alert!

My Dear Friends,

It is not only sharing an incident… but also requesting all of us to mention what we need to do to avoid these situations and to live safely…

As asked by Ms.Shikha, why don’t we all look into the ways to avoid these kind of situations in our society, why don’t we all focus on this issue ? It is not like it has happened to somebody else and we are safe and our girls are safe today like that… It may turn tomorrow to our girls also ??? Until and unless our girls face these situations, keeping quiet is not correct.

As Suggested by Ms.Hrisi, I would like to ask one question to Hrisi,

“My friend Hrisi, How long you suggest the women to keep pen knife in their bag.. because no matter how well you are equipped and how strong the policization is as told by Mr.Tripathy… the other things which you suggested and which Ms.Nayana Chander, Ms.Pranali and Mr.Seshadri suggested are very much helpful and can be followed …

As informed by Ms.Madhu T.K., yes, we know the employment situation has been changed that even women are forced to stay back in the office late night… yes, correct, there is an amendment, that the employer has to take all necessary steps to ensure safety of women employees employed during night. “Employers are not following this” but being HR Professionals what are we doing ?? We are not able to convince the employer to follow the provisions laid down in the labour enactments.

As our friend Mr.Satyabrata Tripathy suggested, yes, “why so much of hue and cry over the issue”, People are so anxious in following western culture and leaving our ancient culture.…

But dear Tripathy, Women is suffering a lot in the society than Men with these incidents.... In these crimes women are facing so many psychological disturbances which are affecting their rest of lives,,,,, It is not the matter of sentiment…. Why don’t we find the way to avoid these situations and atleast keep our future generations life in safe…

If as suggested by Ms.Deepdhall, if she goes to lodge a complaint to put those people behind the bars, the women cannot digest the questions which the authorities asks before taking complaint itself…

Dear Ms.Deeshachandran, correct, it is not so easy for her to cope up with that incident…… we have to thank god as she is safe…. Yes, these incidents are happening on a larger scale everywhere….

I request you all to please focus on this issue and let me know your views what we can do more to avoid these situations and make atleast our next generation happy.

With regards,

Dear viewers and readers,

John has posted a real incident, structuring it well for everybody to understand. Well done job, John! (Timings mentioned here are approximate.)

Nowadays, boyfriends are also unbelievable. A real incident happened to one of my colleagues during Pongal holiday. She planned to go to her native place (Kumbakonam) and was about to take the Rockfort Express train from Egmore at 10:30 PM (to Kumbakonam). She sought help from her boyfriend, whom she has known for the past 3-4 years, a very decent guy (it's her belief). She stepped out at 9:00 PM from her hostel, picked up her boyfriend, went to a hotel, completed dinner, and came out at 9:40 PM. While walking on the roadside, the guy started to speak about a girl (her structure and the way she dressed) who is known to him. My friend felt uncomfortable with his words. Later, he put his hand on her shoulder. She got angry and politely asked him if they could walk a little bit faster as the time was approaching 10:00 PM. She turned violent, trying to control her anger, and asked him why he was behaving that way. At that moment, the street lights turned off, and she got scared. The guy took advantage of the situation, but luckily, a passerby came to her rescue and dropped her off at the railway station.

For females, there is no safety until all males realize the pain of their mothers!

Girls, if you are traveling alone in an auto or a shared auto, kindly make a note of the auto number and text it to your friend or family members. If you are unable to note the auto number (usually located behind your seat or near your leg), where the driver's seat is, the name and address will be written on it. Send the details immediately via SMS and inform someone of your location and estimated arrival time. Also, let them know that you have sent the auto number and address.

Dear Friend Gayatri,

Yes, due to this western culture, people are losing their consciousness. Don't come to such a conclusion that all males should realize like that, because there are men who know the pain of their mothers. It is very hard to find such men, and it is due to many reasons.

Dear Friend AKD & Pray,

My view is only related to these posts blaming all men, in the sense that only males are related to this kind of topic. AKD, I am blaming men only in relation to the real story posted by John and me. Still, there has been no real story published where men have been x-x/ by a girl.

Pray, I agree with you. I know there are wonderful people who do marvelous things with the grace of the Lord and have truly realized their mother's pain. That's the reason why the earth still rests in peace.

Hi,

Thanks a lot Shweta for sharing this with us. Your friend is really lucky that she is safe.

Some tips from my side: First of all, don't travel late. If you have to, immediately get down on a route that does not have rush or is unknown to you. One thing which I generally do when I am on an unknown route is to "make a fake call or maybe a real call to a friend/husband and pretend that you are talking to a POLICE OFFICER or Commissioner. Explain to them the route (any landmarks or maybe minutes away from your known place). You can say, "Oh, are you standing here only? Then I will get down." This is just to show the people around you. It has worked for me.

Surely, girls are less strong than men physically, but with brains, they can overcome some situations. Please share your suggestions too.

Thanks for sharing this incident with us, and some good tips for girls. Especially the "Mirchi Tip" is a very good idea for avoiding these kinds of incidents. We should be aware of some "safe methods" like judo, karate, taekwondo, etc., for our safety because if girls are strong, they can handle these kinds of situations easily. However, it is very embarrassing that after so many years of independence, we are facing these problems, especially with girls.
