An IAS officer shared the trauma she had to go through not just by the perpetrator but by the country’s judicial system as well, saying “so called ‘officers of the court’ are more keen to teach me my place as a woman than to help me assert my rights and get justice.”
“Idiots are lined up at every step,” Riju Bafna said in a post on Facebook that has since gone viral. A trainee IAS officer in Madhya Pradesh, Bafna had filed a sexual harassment complaint against a MP Human Rights Commission official for sending her lewd messages.
“In my previous post, there was a line about women not being born in the country. I wrote that line in the spur of moment and I regret blaming the country for the fault of individuals. Indeed, I had edited the FB post later”, IAS officer Riju Bafna said in her Face Book post late last night.
