The incident near JW Marriott Hotel, Mumbai was indeed tragic and awful and the culprits should be brought to book and handed over the maximum possible punishment as per the law. But it’s pretty wrong to solely blame the police. The girls in question should have had the common sense not to venture out late on a New Year night when many people on the streets are madly inebriated and absolutely not in control of their senses. What else can you expect from such drunken maniacs except molestation, violence and the like? No sane person can take a risk with his / her life and honour by deliberately walking into a den of hooligans and thugs and then expecting the police to offer protection. The primary responsibility for our security rests on us and then the police force.
