A renowned doctor in my city, a dermatologist who also happens to be the principal of theoldest medical college in the region, the Patna Medical College and Hospital, the other day molested a female patient of his whom he took inside his chamber on the pretext of examining her in private.  The girl screamed for help, and her parents, who were waiting outside, gathered other people around and forced the police to lodge a case and take the doctor into custody.  To the utter disbelief of many, the culprit was released after completing some formality.  It goes without saying that the law is not uniformly applied across the country.  If you have power and money, the chances are that you can literally get away with murder.

Thinking about the incident, I asked myself, what kind of a disgusting creature would do a thing like that?  What madness possesses those who are in position of power and authority to force themselves sexually on an unwilling party? It is not a power game because you already have it. It can’t be about pleasure for unless the both people are willing participant, it can be anything but pleasing.  I suspect it comes from a sadistic core of human heart that finds its refuge in darkest form of perversity and the only weapon at our command is a fearful exposer of these men.
