UP Woman Comes to File Eve-Teasing Complaint, Policeman Says Her Attractive Jewellery Should be Blamed:

छेड़खानी की रिपोर्ट लिखवाने गई लड़की के साथ थाने में इस तरह का व्यवहार हो रहा है।

एक तरफ उत्तर प्रदेश में महिलाओं के खिलाफ अपराध कम नहीं हो रहे, दूसरी तरफ कानून के रखवालों का ये बर्ताव।

महिलाओं को न्याय दिलाने की पहली सीढ़ी है उनकी बात सुनना।
