Shocking: Students stripped in school in the name of ragging, principal uses 'dirty language' for girls
Bhopal: Ragging is turning out to be the biggest nightmare for Bhopal students, especially girls. Recently, suicide of B Pharma student Anita Sharma of RKDF college rocked the city, leading to arrest of four senior girl students and an associate professor of the college. The arrests followed shocking revelations by the student Anita Sharma, in her suicide note. She blamed ragging by her seniors and a teacher for ending her life. But, now it appears that a large number of students are being subjected to ragging everyday in the city, and more students are on the verge of taking the extreme step of committing suicide.

If you think only schools students are being subjected to ragging then think again. Just like RKDF student, another girl wanted to commit suicide. This time the girl is a school student.
This girl could not tolerate the allegations leveled against her character. Sadly, a large number of girls are being subjected to regular humiliations. Students are stripped of their clothes, and girls are regularly humiliated. Principal of the school allegedly uses 'dirty language for girls' say most of the girls. Girl students of Maulana Azad Higher Secondary School are the centre of controversy these days. One girl student, distressed after repeated humiliation at school, decided to commit suicide. Thankfully, she shared this with her friend, who took her to the collectorate office.

When the school staff came to know about the incident, they rushed to the collectorate. "Students are stripped of their clothes, and girls are humiliated," said the girls present at the collectorate office.
However, the teachers present at the collectorate managed to calm down the girls and convinced them to come to school for discussion. Yasmin Malik, President of the school discussed the matter with the girls' parents.
Parents allege that this matter was brought to the notice of the school management earlier, but nothing happened. “That left us with no option but to register are complaint at the collectorate office," said girls' parents.
However, the principal of the school denies all the allegations.
"We only try to enforce discipline in the school, and there is nothing wrong in that," says Gurpreet Kaur, Principal Maulana Azad Higher Secondary School.

'Police sensitivity must in child crime cases'
The ruling party may heave a sigh of relief in the election year as Rajasthan surpasses Madhya Pradesh in crimes against scheduled tribes (ST) as per the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) report for 2012. MP topped this list in 2011.
In crimes against scheduled castes (SC), though there has been a decrease from 3,245 (in 2011) to 2,875 (in 2012) the state continues to be on the fifth position among the states in the country.

There has been a slight decrease in the cases of crimes against scheduled tribes. In 2011, the number of crime cases in which people from ST were victimised stood at 1,284, which have come down to 1,218, as per the 2012 report. It is because of the increase in such crimes in Rajasthan that MP comes down to second position from the first.

MP’s contribution to all India crimes against ST is 20.57% as against 22.81% of Rajasthan. Percentage wise, the other states whose contribution to all India crimes against ST are in two digits are Odisha (11.62%) and Andhra Pradesh (11.25%).
The crimes against ST in MP (as per the 2012 report) include 62 murders, 288 rapes and 45 cases of kidnapping and abduction. As far as crimes against scheduled castes are concerned the other states which have registered more cases than MP include Uttar Pradesh (6,202), Rajasthan (5,559), Bihar (4,821) and Andhra Pradesh (3,057).

The crimes (2,875) against SC people include 88 murders, 367 rapes, 64 kidnapping and abduction, 27 arsons and 704 cases in which they were hurt.

SC population as per census 2011 report (provisional) report is 1.13 crore as against 4.13 crore of Uttar Pradesh, 1.22 crore of Rajasthan, 1.65 crore of Bihar and 1.38 crore of Andhra Pradesh.
To protest the fact that MP has again emerged on the top in context of rapes with women and children, members of the Bhopal Youth Congress burnt the effigy of home minister Uma Shankar Gupta at the Rang Mahal Square on Thursday.

HT had reported on Thursday that according to the latest report of the National Crime Records Bureau, in year 2012, MP has recorded highest number of rapes including child abuse.

The Youth Congress members led by vice president Monu Saxena said, “While the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led BJP government in state is patting its own back on schemes like Beti Bachao, Ladli Laxmi and others, ministers and other leaders of BJP are busy in corruption. Crores of rupees are being spent on the publicity of the schemes, but the law and order situation in state has collapsed completely while the home minister Uma Shankar Gupta is sleeping.” He said that the government has been projecting false statistics to seek publicity.“If the home minister does not resign, we will launch a campaign against him,” Saxena said. Uman Jain, Vikki Khongal, Abhilesh Jain, Dilip Mhaske, Moin Khan, Akhilesh Tiwari and others participated in the protest.

'Police sensitivity must in child crime cases'
Bhopal: State unit of UNICEF and Childline, an NGO working for children, have jointly stressed the need of police counseling and sensitizing the man in khakhi while they deal with children involved in crime cases. The issue was raised in a coordination meeting of the special juvenile police unit with the NGO and UNICEF on Wednesday.

UNICEF programme manager Manish Mathur said that it was in deed unfortunate that none of the police officials have received any training on how to talk to children involved in crime cases.
Archana Sahay, Childiline collab director, raised concern over lack of counselling among policemen on how to deal with juveniles. "It is a practical problem for officers to deal with sensitivity with a child in midst of grilling such hard-core criminals," she said.

Children shouldn't be falsely implicated in criminal cases as later they tend to become hardened criminals. Also police should be more sensitive in dealing with minors and should be more community friendly, admitted ASP Rajesh singh Chandel in reply to Sahay's example of how a minor was falsely implicated in the Arms Act because of possession of a 12-inch knife.

"These are very unfortunate cases which the police should be careful and should avoid." said the ASP.
One of the cops present at the meeting asked how the children from tribes like Sanshi and Pardhi can be tackled as they were minors and under the Juvenile Justice Jstice(JJ) Act, they can't be detained in a police station nor can they be questioned that since these children are trained by their parents, action should be taken against them.

The ASP also stressed on the need to revive Bal Mitra Yojna under which children were directly linked to the police stations. "The scheme has been on the backburner for some time now. It should be revived by the department as children can be really helpful in investigations," he said while citing the recent example where a minor boy identifled the killer of his sister.
Besides SJPU officers and volunteers of Childline, representatives of auto rickshaw unions were also present at the meeting and were told to keep constant vigil at railway stations and bus stands for stray and abandoned children.
