Kashipur: A disturbing case of harassment has come to light in Kashipur, where a Class 9 student has stopped attending school due to repeated harassment by a local youth. The girl, who studies at a government girls’ inter college, is reportedly so distressed that her mother fears she may take her own life.
The incident has sparked concern across the region, especially after the girl’s mother made a public appeal to Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, seeking immediate action and protection for her daughter. She claimed that despite filing a complaint with the ITI police station in July, no action has been taken against the accused.
Youth allegedly followed her, passed comments, and made her feel unsafe
According to the family, the girl was being harassed continuously on her way to school. The youth allegedly followed her, passed comments, and made her feel unsafe. Unable to bear the mental pressure, the girl eventually stopped going to school altogether. Her mother said, “My daughter is so scared and upset that she says she will end her life if this continues.”
The family’s complaint to the police included all details of the harassment, but they allege that the police have not responded seriously. The mother’s appeal to CM Dhami highlights the urgency of the situation and the need for swift action to ensure the safety of school-going girls.
Locals expressed anger over the lack of police response
Local residents have also expressed anger over the lack of police response. Many believe that such cases should be handled strictly to prevent future incidents and to build trust in law enforcement. The girl’s education and mental health have been severely affected, and her family is now demanding justice and protection.
Woman activists called for a thorough investigation
Women’s rights activists have called for a thorough investigation and immediate arrest of the accused. They also urged the government to ensure that schools and public spaces are safe for girls. The incident has raised questions about the effectiveness of police action in cases of harassment and the need for stronger support systems for victims.
The mother’s emotional appeal to the Chief Minister reflects the desperation and fear that many families face when their daughters are targeted. The family hopes that with CM Dhami’s intervention, justice will be served and their daughter can return to school without fear.
