Rape, molestation horror continues unabated; women safety under serious threat

A special report on Postmortem investigates serious concerns surrounding the safety of young people and women in public spaces across India. In South Delhi's Aastha Kunj Park, three men posing as police personnel allegedly intimidated two 17-year-old teenagers visiting after a temple trip, separating the minor girl and sexually assaulting her. Investigators quickly apprehended suspects Asif, Hemant, and Mukesh after an exchange of fire near Lady Shri Ram College, exposing massive surveillance and security failures inside the unguarded, poorly lit park. Meanwhile, in Bihar's Jamui, two Class 10 students were intercepted, assaulted, and harassed on a road by a group of men who filmed the ordeal. Following widespread circulation of the video on social media, police arrested prime accused Nandan Yadav and Hariram Yadav, while filing cases against over 100 social media profiles for compromising the minor victim's identity. The broadcast also highlights a moral policing incident in Dhenkanal, Odisha, questioning the rampant misuse of authority and violence against couples in public areas.
