The Curse of that Night

A fragmented policy and a vitiated public sphere characterise todays India. The question that is making rounds is whether we have become an intolerant nation. Obviously, there can be no simple yes or no to such a question; it all depends on the context in which it is posted.

You can practically get away with the most heinous crimes, be it murder, rape, corruption of the grossest sort, theft, graft, not to speak of the abuse of both law and morality in almost every sphere of life.

Abhijeet Raichand is the highest paid lawyer in Delhi with just one aim in life, to make money. He has a loving fiance Malvika, who supports him in every way. Darsh is an orphan. He was too young when his father died and left him with a responsibility, to take care of his little sister. He used to work as a rag picker and had just one wish, to get the best of education for his sister, Aarti. Everything was going on great until that brutal night. The night when Aarti was gang raped by three men, including Omi Yadav, son of an MLA.

Rape is a crime against human rights and is also violating the victims most cherished of the fundamental rights, the right to life contained in Article 21. And it is rightly said by someone, “While a murderer destroys the physical frame of the victim, a rapist degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female”.

The story revolves around Aarti, Malvika, Abhijeet and Darsh and their struggle to get justice. A corrupt system, political pressure and a lifetime of curse and trauma. Will Aarti get justice? Will those convicts get punishment for this brutal crime? Read on to find out!!
