A simple evening started in Arthala locality of Sahibabad area of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, which soon became a painful. Seven -year -old innocent Riya (name changed) was playing outside the house with her mother. Just then, Naushad, a Muslim youth selling bananas in the area, came. There were gleaming yellow bananas in his basket, but there was some other black darkness in his mind. Riya asked for some bananas, but Naushad called her alone. The girl went to her innocent, and this was here that the embarrassing act started.
Was wrongdoing
The CCTV camera captured everything. It was clear in the footage that Naushad was kissing Riya’s leg, touching her wrongly. A distorted craving was reflected in his eyes. Riya got scared, but at a young age she did not understand what was happening. She quietly returned home, but an unknown fear was hovering on her face. Just then, a woman from the neighborhood saw some suspects. He told Riya’s mother, and there was a stir in the house.
The family immediately searched the nearby CCTV footage. Naushad’s black handiwork was clearly visible on the screen. A family full of anger and pain started looking for the accused, but he had escaped by then. The nights started to be cut, he started to roam a terrible face in Riya’s dreams. The girl would quietly shrink in the corner, shed tears. The father’s heart broke. He said, my daughter is so small, she cannot even understand anything. How do they act like animals?
Naushad came to sell bananas again on 21 September
Days passed. On 21 September, Naushad again came to sell bananas in the area. There was a movement in the market, but as soon as people recognized it, fire became furious. People from public and Hindu organizations gathered. ‘This is a heaven.’ He caught Naushad while screaming. He was beaten fiercely on the road. People were trembling with anger, women were crying. Naushad shouted, asked, but no one showed pity. Eventually, he was handed over to the police.
Police station Sahibabad police registered a case against Naushad on the Tahrir of the victim’s family under the strict sections of the Poxo Act. He was arrested and sent to jail. There was silence in the area. Riya is still afraid, but the family is giving her strength.
