Goons molest,
drag Bengal
woman off bike
Kolkata: New Years Eve
turned into horror for a young
couple when the woman was
molested and her husband beaten up by a bunch of drunken
goons at New Town in Rajarhat late on Wednesday night.
The gang tried to drag the
woman away with them but
the couple fought them off.
After surviving the battle,
the couple headed straight for
a police station where officers
brusquely told them that they
would not accept a complaint
unless the woman got herself
medically checked, says the
husband. It is the polices responsibility to get a rape complainant examined.
TOI has pictures that show horrific bruises on the 24year-old survivors face. TNN

court cases on deaths of
small girls. All this points
to deep discrimination

nomic circumstances, etc.
But the slight uptick in sex
ratio at birth is negated by
what happens to girls who are
born and survive. Neglect,
discrimination and in extreme cases even killing of very young girls is behind dipping child sex ratio. There is
a tendency to give the girl less
food, or not treat her sickness
with the same urgency as a
boys. There are many court
cases on deaths of small girls.
All this points to deep discrimination against girls,
Kirti Singh said.
The increases and decreases are small at the country level but at the state level sharper
trends are visible. Again,
