I am Smita....a year ago I underwent a similar situation...I was returning home alone from Jadavpur University around 9m in the night...that time the area is crowded with people...a good many number of labourers were working on the footpath as well...I was carrying my bag of books on one side and another handbag which had my tiffin box and water bottle... I was just about to cross Jadavpur thana crossing when an boy molested me...he was coming from the opposite direction he touched me and actually hurt me in the process..at first I was taken by surprise and went blank for a moment, then i turned around and saw him calmly walking away...I chased him and started yelling...the moment I started to chase him he ran as fast as he could way far away from me...luckily some of my university friends were also returning home they saw me running after this boy and chased him as well...my friends got him and we caught him right infront of the police station gate...I instantly wanted to file a case against him...but that was afterwards 1st I started hitting him as hard as I could going blind in rage...then I pulled him inside the police station and wrote down a complaint letter...this boy then started calling me madam/aunty/ma/didi (elder sister) and started begging to be forgiven I wouldn't listen to any of it...I kept on writing the complaint…then after some time the boys father, uncle, local friends came into the police station and wanted my forgiveness, by this time my friends also started saying that it would be pointless to file a case, that would only lead to my harassment...thus I calmed down...I took away the boys driving license, pan card, voter id...and made him write down an apology letter to me making him clearly state "that he is apologising for molesting me and that he will never repeat the act and if ever he is found guilty of doing so then legal actions will be taken against him" he gave in his id information details such as his pan card number, his driving license number, his voter id number...this was the moment for me...I will never forget the day in my life....but still i never walk down Jadavpur University by lane to Jadavpur thana I always take an auto on my way back home...
N.B: that day we found out that the guy worked for Calcutta police crime department he worked under Javed Shamim in Lal Bazar police station as a data entry operator
