Woman says no one helped her when she was abused and threatened by MLA Harris’ son
Bengaluru: A woman posted a video on Facebook accusing MLA Harris' son Mohammed Nalpad, who is accused of assaulting a youth, assaulted and threatened her also in the past.
Varshita Das Poornima, who posted the video on the social networking site, said the media, which is expressing their anger over the assault on youth by MLA's son, was tight-lipped when justice was denied to her. Besides, when she requested self-proclaimed Hindu organizations like Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene to get her justice, they asked her to gather 500, 1000 people. Expressing her anger, she said, "Instead of fighting for a woman's justice, If Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene ask her to gather people, then such organizations must be thrown away into garbage bins."
"For two days, the state media is back of Harris' son. That is fine. But three years ago, when I went to police station to file a complaint against the same Harris' son, no police station was ready to take my complaint. Before I reach the police station, a phone call comes there saying that a woman by name Poornima will come, do not take any complaint from her. When Muslims, who stood by Harris' son, said, they will cut me into pieces on the road itself, where was the media at that time?"
"Was media fixed with Harris on that occasion? I had given a complaint to Cubbon Park police station. Police told me that it does not come in our area, go to Alsur police station. In Alsur police station, they said it does not come in the limits of Alsur police station; go to Cubbon Park police station. Police did not have morality in that instance. In front of me, they threw my complaint into a dustbin."
"I have been insulted for being a woman. My life is under threat. When I requested big organizations like Bhajarangadal and Shri Ram Sene to come for my assistance, they asked me to gather 500, 1000 people. Why would I need your organizations if I was able to gather 500, 1000 people? Throw your organizations to garbage bins. Shame on Shri Ram Sene, Muthalik, Bhajarangadal and Suryanarayan. Harris, who made me cry today, is still at large," she said.
However, Poornima's video has gone viral and over 1 lakh 69 thousand people have watched it. So far, It has received three thousand comments and shared 4,454 times.

Allahabad HC orders police protection to married couple apprehending 'honour killing'
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has granted protection to a married couple who expressed fear that they may be killed by the woman's family.
The order was passed by a division bench comprising Justice JJ Munir and Justice Tarun Saxena on March 25.
"No individual can make an 'honour issue' out of a consenting adult marrying a person of their own choice. It is the state's duty to protect the life, limb, and property of such persons even against their own family members," the bench said.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Prachi Agrawal and her partner, who sought relief in connection with an FIR filed under Section 87 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for kidnapping, and abducting or inducing a woman to compel her marriage.
The couple submitted that they married at an Arya Samaj temple and possessed a marriage registration certificate issued under the Uttar Pradesh Marriage Registration Rules, 2017.
The petitioners alleged that the woman's family members were averse to their marriage and lodged a bogus FIR against them.
The couple further submitted a joint affidavit expressing apprehension of an honour killing by the woman's family.
The court said that a prima facie case was made out and issued notice to the private respondent and granted two weeks to file a counter-affidavit.
Meanwhile, as an interim measure, the court granted the petitioners protection from arrest.
The court also explicitly ordered the woman's family members and relatives not to harm the petitioners, enter their matrimonial home, or establish contact with them directly or through any electronic means.
The bench directed the Aligarh senior superintendent of police to ensure that no harm comes to the couple and posted the matter for hearing on April 8.
