Bombay: Bombay has seen a spate of incidents over the last few months, where students and activists have blackened faces of academics, doctors and even cyber cafe owners and paraded them in public over different complaints.
Last June, when a Wilson College professor was dragged through the streets, face blackened, he didn't put up much resistance. Nor did a lecturer at JJ School of Arts resist when he was attacked by a group of women activists earlier this month.
"This is wrong. Anybody doing this is wrong," that's all that the Bombay police would say of such behaviour. But as the number of such incidents grows in the city, the police are at their wit's end. "It's just taking the law into their own hands," Bombay Joint Commissioner of Police (Law & Order), KL Prasad, says.
The law unfortunately is no deterrent for the student unions, who are all affiliated to different political parties. "Right from college days, they want to behave like small-time politicians," Prasad points out.
There have been five cases of face blackening in the last four months itself, the latest took place just three weeks back when Shiv Sena's student wing, Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena, attacked a teacher of Rajesh Study Centre in Thane on August 8 for alleged indecency.
A week before that, a lecturer from the prestigious JJ School of Arts was attacked by Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena activists for an alleged molestation attempt. In July, a teacher at Mithila English High School was attacked by activists of NCP and Shiv Sena.
Before that, two doctors in Thane municipal hospital were attacked by Shiv Sena activists. And in April, NCP activists attacked a doctor at Chhatrapati Shivaji Hospital in Kalwa for alleged sexual harrassment. In this case, the victim turned out to be the wrong doctor.
The list goes on, but police are helpless. Face blackening is, after all, a bailable offence and involves too much red tape. "If there is a summary procedure to deal with such cases, then people would know they will not get jobs and have no future and they will not resort to such behaviour," Bombay Police Joint Commissioner KL Prasad says.
But would that stop the moral police? "The youth of this country don't need permission from anyone to deliver justice," Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena President, Abhijit Panse, claims.
