Within an half an hour of Social activist Sunitha Krishnan’s car was attacked here on Friday, after she announced “Shame the Rapists” campaign on a national channel and just a day after she uploaded two rape video clips on YouTube seeking to bring the culprits to book.
Angry Miscreants hurled stones at her car, parked outside her office-cum-residence, Prajwala Home, at Hussainalam in the Old City. The incident came two hours after Krishnan posted a video featuring a man sexually assaulting a woman. The video was making the rounds on WhatsApp.
The video clips removed on Friday by YouTube for ‘violation of terms,’ have gone viral with scores of people sharing it on WhatsApp. One video shows a woman being gang-raped by five men, the other shows a woman being raped by a man.
It seems like the man had wanted the incident of assault to be filmed. He is seen smiling at the camera while committing the shameful act. The girl is heard pleading with the men filming the assault asking them to take pity on her saying nothing will be left of her life if the video is released.
Sunitha has appealed to the citizens and law enforcing agencies to help in tracing the culprits. She also requested people to join the campaign and bring such culprits to shame. “This is not just my campaign, this campaign is for justice against women assault,” she said.
They are prowling around and are a threat to any woman or child. Please help us trace them, she added.
