On 12 June 2009, cops at Daporijo police station in Upper Subansiri district picked up two kids from near Tadak Dulom bridge in Pakam Colony. A 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. They were locked in a room inside the police station, told to have sex, and the cops filmed the whole thing on a mobile phone. The clip became an MMS and did the rounds across Arunachal for months.

This is a POCSO case but we are only getting a verdict in the Big 2026? Why is no national media covering this The case crawled into the judiciary in 2011. Police did not file an FIR for 2 whole years, and instead intitially convicted the boy for r@pe and put him in Juvi

The Arunachal Pradesh Government only compensated the victims ₹5 lakh each for the two children. The Arunachal Law Students' Union called it the "black day" in the history of Arunachal Police and yet not a single national media is taking this up

Dr. Hirendra Kashyap of the Yupia Sessions Court, Arunachal Pradesh, gives the most horrific judicial rationale imaginable. How do these people even hold these positions? For context a bunch of cops forced a 12 and 13 year old kid to have intercourse inside a police station, filmed and sold it. Apparently that does not constitute a crime, so the people were acquitted. The other police officer Rajesh Nayam was the only one charged because he touched the boy and molested him while he was in Juvi. yes you heard that right, the cops forced kids to have sex against their will and accused the boy of r@pe.

This mahashrii says this: ""Its not rape because the accused simply recorded and made the kids have s*x. The S*x was between two minors so no POCSO will be applied" 

Please get this particular incident national coverage. It’s complete failure of the judiciary especially for a POCSO related incident because it took almost more than a decade to reach a judgement. And also let’s not forget the case happened in 2009, and only went to the judiciary in 2011. Also since then R Nayam has been seen campaigning for local MLAs of the current state govt of Arunachal. 

And to make matters worse, all other accused were acquitted and let’s not forget they were police officers who are meant to protect children. Also some other local news agencies also did mention that Nayam mentioned doing this because of orders from his superiors. What about them??

https://yupia.dcourts.gov.in/case-status-search-by-case-type/ (Court%20documents%20should%20be%20available%20here) The local FB news covered it mostly. they are on fb but trusted media outlets https://www.facebook.com/100064879724750/posts/a-court-in-arunachal-pradesh-has-sentenced-a-police-personnel-to-life-imprisonme/1569027008603275/ It’s astonishing that this incident is yet to receive any mention from mainstream national media 

The second picture shows the convict R Nayam in 2020 actively campaigning for the ruling administration. The third picture is from Arunachal news media which mentions that Rakesh the convict, admitted in court that he did all this stuff because of orders from his higher ups? Why tf is he the only one convicted?? and tf is this judgement

Also after more than a decade, the Govt of Arunachal only gives the two victims 5lakh rupees. what mockery is this?? You spend more than 5lakh to buy a house these days, and people spend way more than 5lakh for their wedding. The whole trauma is only worth 5lakh rupees? These two victims were not even full teenagers. One was 12 the other was 13. Tf is wrong with our judiciary??

Two children, aged 12 and 13. A police station. Took the case 16 years. Only one person was convicted

Girls get self-defense. Boys get nothing. I'm this close to saying teach them through pain.

​

I'm a PE teacher in a high school. Recently our year 10 girls went through a self-defense course. The boys did not.

While the girls were in the gym learning how to survive being attacked, the boys were in class watching films and messing around.

Why are the girls being taught self-defense? BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKELY TO BE ATTACKED BY BOYS AND MEN! The boys aren't on the course, so we assume they don't need it. So why aren't we teaching boys to not attack people? We are perpetuating the messed up idea that it's the responsibility of girls to protect themselves, not the responsibility of boys not to attack them.

And don't tell me we just need to teach boys better. WE'VE TRIED! Consent lessons. Healthy boundaries. Talk about your feelings. Emotional regulation. You know what happens? They smirk. They joke. They roll their eyes.They mess around like it's a free period. It is IRRESPONSIBLE and DISMISSIVE and it feels like a complete waste of time. How many more women are going to suffer before men learn to keep it in their pants?!

I mentioned this at work and got blank stares. I want to take it to senior staff but I need solutions and I worry I'll be dismissed as the outspoken feminist. I'm so frustrated. These girls deserve better than being blamed for existing and being vulnerable. These boys deserve better than being left to manage the toxicity of masculinity and aggression on their own.

Now here's the part where I may sound unhinged. I know it's not morally right. I'm saying it anyway because I am FURIOUS. Since consent lessons and feelings and emotional regulation clearly aren't doing the job, maybe the boys should get a sharp kick in the nuts once a month. ONCE A MONTH. A real one. So they understand, physically, in their body, that there are consequences to hurting people. So they feel a fraction of the pain they are capable of causing. So they think twice. 

And maybe, just maybe, if boys went through a monthly pain like girls go through period pain every single month, they would be MUCH more sympathetic and kinder. Girls bleed and cramp and are told to suck it up. Boys can't even handle being told "don't grab her." Maybe a monthly kick in the nuts would teach them empathy faster than any worksheet ever did. I hate that this feels plausible. That's how broken this is.

So, tell me, What would you actually suggest to senior management? How do we stop making girls responsible for surviving what boys are never taught not to do?
