| 2013-03-19 |
| The Dichpally police arrested five men belonging to Hyderabad for teasing a Norwegian woman in a tourist bus bound for Shirdi on Monday night. On a complaint lodged by the bus driver, the police took into custody Vijay, Uppal Chander, Chitram Ranjith, Raidurgam Saikumar and P. Sudarshan Reddy — aged between 23 and 30 — and registered a case under Sections 290, 506, and 507 of the Indian Penal Code. They were remanded in custody for 14 days and lodged in the district jail. Sub-Inspector Naresh said the 23-year-old woman, who was on an all-India tour, boarded the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation bus in Hyderabad on Monday evening. Noting that she was alone, the men, who were drunk, started teasing her. On reaching Dichpally, the driver complained against them, he said. |

| #2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_teasing Eve teasing is a euphemism used in India and sometimes Bangladesh[1] for public sexual harassment or molestation of women by men, with use of the word "Eve" being a reference to the biblical Eve, the first woman.[2] It implies that the woman is in some way responsible for the behaviour of the perpetrators of this act. Considered a problem related to delinquency in youth,[3] it is a form of sexual aggression that ranges in severity from sexually suggestive remarks, brushing in public places and catcalls to outright groping.[4][5][6] Sometimes it is referred to with a coy suggestion of innocent fun, making it appear innocuous with no resulting liability on the part of the perpetrator.[7] Some voluntary organisations have suggested that the expression be replaced by a more appropriate term.[8] According to them, considering the semantic roots of the term in Indian English, Eve teasing refers to the temptress nature of Eve, placing responsibility on the woman as a tease.[9] |
