Mumbai, Oct 1: A shocking video of a bystander molesting a woman seconds before her death during recent stampede at Mumbai’s Elphinstone Railway station has now surfaced on social media.

As seen in the video, the woman tried to reach out to help as she lay atop a pile of victims on the foot overbridge when the shameless man molested her. The woman, trapped by the bodies, finally drops her hand breathing her last.

As the molestation video circulated among passengers and officials, the anger was apparent. “This case comes under Mumbai Police, but I will also initiate an inquiry,” said Niket Kaushik, Commissioner, Government Railway Police.

Jayshree Kanade, who was at Parel station when the stampede occurred, told a national daily: “Many people stole purses and gold ornaments from women victims. This molestation video is really shameful. How can someone molest a girl fighting for life and asking for help? The culprits should be punished.”

“The molestation video is shameful and without even watching it, one feels like punishing the coward responsible. We rushed to help. Women were crying for help. We couldn’t save many of them due to the crowd on the bridge,” another local resident was quoted as saying.

“Many women were wearing sarees as it was Dussehra; their clothes tore while pulling them out of the pile of bodies,” said another eye witness.

Disgusting media. Atleast apologize and correct when your report turns out to be false. That too about a tragedy where so many died. "The Hindu" apologized and edited . I was shocked and after searching for the video, found the guy trying to pull her out, but couldn't as her leg was stuck.

 

There should be severe action against false news.

Mangaluru, June 13: Commending the Karnataka government move to ban the online classes for children up to Standard 5, Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has demanded to impose ban on all education apps that offer online coaching to school children.

"I welcome the government’s decision of banning online classes up to class 5. I would like to know why education apps of corporate companies are allowed to continue when schools are banned to conduct online classes. Why the government could not ban those education apps that offer online classes?” the former minister questioned.

He warned that private schools in the state may commence their online classes through such apps of corporate companies if the present situation continues.

Not all parents in the state can afford buying smart phones required for online classes, he said. "Only 30% of the school children in the state have access to smart phones. Most of the parents cannot afford to buy smart phones for their children. Government should take into consideration the mental stress of academically brilliant children among poor families. Those children may go under depression when they do not have access to online classes. The government can cancel some of the schemes like distribution of bicycles and reserve such funds to find solutions to the problems poor children face at present,” Khader said.
