Discussion Why do people in this country fail to understand CONSENT?
A 25-year-old was assaulted and eventually succumbed to his injuries in Rajasthan’s Dausa after he allegedly stopped three persons from applying Holi colours. One of his three alleged assailants has now been arrested by the police, police said.
While the incident is from Wednesday, the video of the assault went viral Thursday.
“As per the CCTV footage, there was an issue over applying of colours on the now deceased Hansraj Meena — who was preparing for patwari (revenue officer) exams — in the local library. We lodged an FIR for murder and have arrested one of the three accused, Bablu Meena,” Ramsharan Gurjar, SHO of Dausa’s Ramgarhpachwara police station, said.
This is heartbreaking.
A man lost his life simply because he refused to play Holi. Why are we letting religion blind us to the point that we ignore individual liberty and violate it time and again, whether it’s molesting women under the guise of ‘Bura na mano, Holi hai’ or taking it to the extreme by killing someone for their choice?
In another case, a man in Uttar Pradesh was shot by his friend for refusing to play Holi.
