It’s hard to even process the details of what happened to that young girl in Mumbai. Can you imagine the sheer terror she must have felt? Five men, in the supposed safety of her own neighborhood in Jogeshwari’s Sanjay Nagar, lured her into a room and subjected her to the most horrific ordeal. It’s sickening.
February 26th, a day that will forever haunt her. One of them, someone she might have even recognized, tricked her. Inside, four others waited. They violated her, stealing her innocence and leaving her shattered. And then, as if that wasn’t enough, they dumped her at Dadar railway station, like she was nothing.
Thankfully, amidst the chaos of a busy railway platform, someone saw her. Railway police officers, their hearts must have ached when they saw her, alone and trembling on platform 12. They didn’t just walk by. They saw a terrified child and reached out, earning her trust. It’s a small glimmer of hope in a dark story. She told them everything, the unspeakable things that had been done to her.

The Jogeshwari police, thankfully, acted quickly. They registered a case under the POCSO Act, those crucial laws designed to protect children. And they found those men, all five of them, those AC mechanics who betrayed their humanity. They’re in custody now, and I hope justice is served swiftly and completely.
But the anger, the sheer, burning anger, it doesn’t go away. This isn’t an isolated incident. Just days before, a woman in Pune suffered a similar attack. It feels like a relentless tide of violence, a constant reminder of how unsafe women and children can be.
There’s this overwhelming sense of despair, mixed with a desperate plea for change. We need more than just arrests. We need a society where girls can walk without fear, where children are protected, where these monstrous acts become unthinkable. We need to demand stronger laws, better enforcement, and a fundamental shift in how we value and protect the vulnerable. It’s not just about punishment, it’s about prevention, about building a world where this never happens again.
