The Sopore incident in which a teacher is believed to have molested a girl is buzzing on the internet like fire. He, his families reputation & even the teaching professions integrity are not being spared.
Not at all trying to downplay the severity of a heinous crime like molestation, but let's let the crime be proved first. Outrage and allegations aren't always convictions.
I still remember the case from Pakistan that happened 2 years before, in which a college girl alleged that a young Urdu professor had molested her. The professor saw this on a news channel everywhere. He cried that he was innocent, but no one listened to him. With in a week, his world shattered & even wife left him. After seeing all this, he couldn't bear the humiliation & finally ended his life, but before that, he wrote a last note, and that was, "I am not guilty. I did nothing wrong. My suicide is proof. I request all not to remember me by this name. Respect my family. I was not guilty". Later, investigation reports, as well as the girl, revealed that the professor was innocent.
Thess Facebook news portals & journalists are not serving the truth but selling the diginity & pain by making everything, without taking into consideration it's impact, to look like a sensation to gain views. Unfortunately, for them, every tragedy becomes content & every tear becomes a tool for manipulation. This an absolute mockery of humanitarian work.
Who gave anyone the authority to sensationalise criminal allegations to a level where the collective consciousness of society gets disappointed with the very fabric of our society & believes that nothing good remains in the society?
What if, tomorrow, the investigation reveals different story?
