A recent survey of Delhi Police reveals that the growing trend of liquor among youngsters and free availability of porn movies on internet have contributed heavily to the crime against women.The survey was conducted after the recent rapes and gang-rapes in different areas of the city where the accused committed the crime either after consuming liquor or after watching pornography. “Alcohol and pornography incite and ruin the immature minds and youngsters,” says a police officer. In the wake of the findings, all the police stations in the national capital have been asked to keep an eye on the sale of liquor and lewd items.
In contrast, the Delhi State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited has decided to open liquor shops in malls as, according to the corporation, the malls are safer places for women to buy liquor. An official in the Corporation said that they were in search of suitable ‘areas’ in the city where liquor vends are required.
