An IPS officer stood alone at Dilsukhnagar bus stop past midnight to understand what women face on Hyderabad streets after dark. What followed EXPOSED the reality of many MEN today. From “Will you come?” to vulgar offers and repeated harassment, nearly 40 men approached her between 12.30 AM and 3.30 AM - many drunk, some allegedly under ganja influence. They were students or employees while the officer is in her 50s. The officer was Malkajgiri CP IPS Sumathi. But she didn’t stop at catching them. Those men were identified, counselled and warned about their behaviour towards women. This wasn’t her first such field exercise. Around 25 years ago, as a young DSP near Kazipet railway station, she had conducted a similar operation to understand women’s safety at ground level. Even after reaching top ranks, she still chose field reality over office comfort. While dedication towards policing deserves appreciation, the reality is uncomfortable - for many women, being alone after dark is not safe enough.
