Nirbhaya’s rape on that uneventful chilly night in Delhi highlighted the vulnerability of women in our country in a big way and the subsequent amendment in the law and provision for harsher punishment like death penalty for perpetrators of such heinous crime was a timely intervention by the Government to curb this menace.
But have these measures actually proved to be deterrent?
The answer is a big ‘No’ at least the plight of 16-year old Vidya Mishra will prove it. Her tale will be highlighted in the upcoming episode of Sony Entertainment Television’s Crime Patrol (Optimystix Productions).
The story will portray a heart wrenching story of Vidya a resident of Ruibagachi village, West Bengal.

And one day as she will go out to get some milk for her father’s morning tea, she will fall to the evil designs of some goons in the area. When her father would return late at night, he will find the door locked from outside and after a search he will realise that his daughter would nowhere to be found.
And the father will be shocked when he will go to the police station to lodge a complaint, the officers there will take it very casually, delay with their search operations making it all the more difficult for the search of Vidya. Knowing well that his daughter is in grave danger, he will finally get all the village folks together and start looking out for the young missing girl.
