Haryana Government puts bravery award on
hold for Rohtak sisters
Press Trust of India: Within less than a
week after the two sisters hogged limelight for thrashing youths in a bus for
allegedly molesting them, Haryana government on Thursday decided to put on hold
the award announced for them pending an inquiry. “The award announced for
the two sisters by the state government which was to be bestowed upon them on
Republic day had been ‘put on hold pending an inquiry’ in the case,” Chief
Minister’s Officer on Special duty (OSD) Jawahar Yadav said. “Against
whomsoever evidence is found action will be taken,” he added.

Within less than a week after the two sisters hogged limelight for thrashing
youths in a bus for allegedly molesting them, Haryana government on Thursday
decided to put on hold the award announced for them pending an inquiry. “The
award announced for the two sisters by the state government which was to be
bestowed upon them on Republic day had been ‘put on hold pending an inquiry’ in
the case,” Chief Minister’s Officer on Special duty (OSD) Jawahar Yadav said.
“Against whomsoever evidence is found action will be taken,” he added.
After a video of the girls thrashing three
boys in a moving bus went viral on social media and news channels declaring the
sisters as ‘bravehearts’, the Haryana government had announced to honour the
two sisters on the occasion of Republic day. Chief Minister Manohar Lal
Khattar had said in an official statement that both the girls had shown
indomitable courage and bravery by opposing the misdemeanour of three youth who
tried to “molest” them in a moving bus of Haryana Roadways at Rohtak. The
two college-going sisters had confronted three alleged molesters inside a
moving bus, with one of the girls even hitting the youths with her belt, even
as passengers remained mute spectators. The parents of the two girls
lodged an FIR with Haryana police against the three youths informing that the
molesters got down at the Kansla village in Rohtak. All the three youths —
Kuldeep, Mohit and Deepak, were arrested and later released on bail. A
case under section 354 (assault or criminal force with intent to outrage
woman’s modesty) and section 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) was registered
against them, police said. The incident triggered spontaneous indignation
from women rights activists, with National Commission for Women chairperson
Lalitha Kumarmangalam asking the authorities to take appropriate action against
the accused. However, the case took a new turn later with four women from
Aasan village, the native hamlet of the sisters, giving an affidavit in Sadar
police station at Rohtak claiming that the boys were not involved in
molestation of the sisters.
