"Isolation" or Ignorance: A Minister's Troubling Response to Harassment Bihar minister Shrawon Kumar's recent remarks on a viral video showing a minor girl being harassed in Jamui have sparked outrage and criticism.
His attempt to downplay the severity of the incident by labeling it an "isolated" event betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of such crimes.
The incident itself is appalling – a minor girl returning from a coaching class with a male friend was assaulted and groped, leaving her shaken and traumatized.
