Only those two were remaining and the bus was turning its last turn heading for the depot. Depot was its last stop where they want to alight. But driver has other plans, just when the bus enters the lonely patch, 4 guys board the moving bus, and they started fighting with the guy. They beat him with all sorts of means, and throw him out of the moving bus.
All over India: 2PM.
FB walls lit up, statuses started pouring in. “A girl raped!”, media started reporting the horrible rape incident, showing the footage of this and that. Sharing gets started on FB wall, with demands of arrest of culprits who went underground right after the incident. Even a video came up showing the moving bus from far behind, and then another video got posted, where the victimized girl is showed unconscious lying on the road totally soaked in the blood, and many human figures just watching her in shock.
New Delhi: 3 AM next day.
Ashish was gone from his bed, he was admitted in injured condition, but now, he was not there, on his bed. Doctors and nurses started looking for him, but didn’t found any trace of him anywhere. Every news channel was reporting only this news, there are protests going on everywhere, candle-light marches and many more. Delhi police got hold of 4 of the culprits while the girl was struggling with her life.
Old Delhi: 3PM next day.
Ashish was standing in front of a house, and he knocked the door. A lady came outside, and asked “Kya hai, kisko milna hai.” He simply replied, “Namastey aunty, main Kedar ka friend hoon, kuch kaam tha usse.” “Vo ghar pe nahi hai”, the lady replied bluntly. But he didn’t listen and stepped inside the house calling Kedar’s name. Kedar was at the home, and he came down. Just then Ashish caught hold of his shirt’s collar and dragged him outside the house. He dragged him to the main road and took out a knife from his pocket and rammed it into his stomach, and not only 1 time, he rammed it 10 times. A camera crew was in the vicinity, and the camera-man shoot up the incident. When Ashish finished his work, he just stare into camera and just said these words, “I have done my bit, Have you?”
My Home: Today.
That was the 5th culprit, and I just checked the news on tv, shared some hate messages on my FB wall, and penned this story, while the girl died a silent death. Am I a human, and did I do my bit?
