Rajkot woman stages semi-nude protest against dowry demand

RAJKOT: Conservative Rajkot went into convulsions on Wednesday when alleged mental and physical abuse by her husband's family drove a 22-year-old woman to strip to her underwear and walk through the city in protest.
Pooja Chauhan said she had taken to this unique protest after being constantly harassed for not bringing dowry and bearing a girl-child.
The effect was immediate. The police arrested her husband Pratapsinh Chauhan, parents-in-law and neighbours Veji Bharwad and Vinu Dalit on Wednesday, after she threatened to scale up her protest and march nude to the police commissioner's office if she did not get justice.
"The arrests were made on the basis of Pooja Chauhan's complaint. We are also planning to take action against Pooja for indecent behaviour in a public place. However, we will examine her mental condition before taking any action," said Rajkot police commissioner K Nityanandam.
Residents in the busy thoroughfares of Race Course Road and Yagnik Road were left gaping in shock on Tuesday evening as Pooja walked in her inner-wear, wielding a baseball bat and bangles, headed for the police commissioner's office.
She walked for about an hour and went home later as the police commissioner was out of station.
Police sources said Pooja had a love marriage with Pratapsinh, a resident of Gandhigram area, about three years ago, but her in-laws kept harassing her for dowry. The harassment increased when she gave birth to a daughter eight months ago. She finally left home five months ago and has been living on her own with her daughter, Anjali.
Sources said police inaction on her complaints had driven her to stage such a protest. "When her complaint against her in-laws failed to evoke any response, she tried to immolate herself at the office of the police commissioner last Friday but police personnel stopped her," said a source in the commissionerate.

It is not strange but ridiculous that the Police on one hand need to examine this lady's mental state before they can act against her, but on the other hand, the same police did act and arrest her husband and in-laws on the basis of this lady's complaint. They have acted on the complaint filed by a person whose mental condition they themselves are acknowledging needs to be checked. What if tomorrow the medical report suggests that her mental state is not OK? Will the police be able to undo the damage that has been caused to the husband and in-laws who have been arrested, treated like criminals, and have suffered socially because of this? How can the Police defend the use of two different yardsticks in this case? The answer lies in our laws such as 498A, DV Act, and Dowry Act. When it comes to cases under these well-intenstion, but highly misused, laws, the Police, as a matter of rule, arrest without bothering the check out the bonafides of the complainant, as they did in this case. God save Indian Family!

True Sanjay
Even lunatic or semi lunatic YOUNG women get priority over men and elders
The police are totally in sensitive to the feelings of men

Fine. This case is not an isolated case of lady against her inlaws, but it represents sufferings of thousands who still suffer from mental and physical harrassment.
Until and unless the laws against dowry are amde very strict and applicable at all levels of society and in all places of India, there will be unrest in the disturbed classes as these
