HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!!
Friends!!
This is my story dated 31st July,2012 which I cannot forget as a Citizen of this "Loving country".
"My name changed to Ram in this article"
At 9.25a.m I got down at Noida metro station and boarded a white private bus to my office which was at 15mins driving distance from the station.Bus was crowded with men and women and amidst that were a gang of 5-6 pickpocketers whom I later realized when about to get down before my office in ahurry and 2 of them trying to stop me from getting down the bus and on opposing them was attacked with sharp blades and punches.I was retaliating them while the Bus driver had further geared the bus speed saying that " I am a poor guy and don't want to be tangled amidst this turmoil".
I was attacked for 15mins with not a single support from people in the bus as almost everyone of them had jumped from the bus by than left with only 7-8 people who realized before the story was going to be closed for ever and came from the back seat shouting at the gang which made the gang scared and jump from the bus on a sudden break from the driver himself as a part of some preplanned attack .
I was bleeding profusely with bucket of water in the bus poured on me for relaxing me from the severe pain all over my body.By shirt was completely torn with deep scar marks all over my back,ear ,fingers and left face.
The doctor at the immediate nursing home asked the 7-8 youth accompaying me to the nursing home to call the police , my office colleagues or family people.I still remember that only 3 guys who were CA trainees in Noida were active in supporting me while informing my COO (American lady-Name not to be disclosed) and one colleague(Name not disclosed) about this incident while one of them informed the Police who although came within 5 mins and took an immediate action of making me sit in their patrol vehicle and shifting me to the nearest district hospital in Noida while asked the 7-8 witnesse to come directly to the district hospital for reporting.
In the meantime police was giving a moral support like "Ram sahab don't worry you are just stabbed while one of the other victim 10 days back was stabbed in stomach and on the verge of death".
" Ram sahab it's XXXXX rule in UP and you should be mentally prepared for such incidents and don't be weak".
Anyhow I would like to thank those 3 CA trainees who only reported in the hospital as witness within 30 mins. while i was being stitched at multiple places and my lady COO holding my hand and supporting me while one of the police commenting that "Ram sahab your madam is herself so strong to support you that our support is not required at all".
"Ram sahab you come back to office and we shall accompany you on our patrolling vehicle and move on this road to catch the gang as they keep moving here and there"
Anyhow after 2 hrs of stitches all over the body, I was allowed to go back home where my COO was kind enough to drop me at my home in Delhi and also consoled my wife for whatever happened with me which could have been even more disastrous as well.
Once , I was released from the hospital after stitches, some of the photographers and reporters from the leading news channels were waiting outside the hospital and strated clicking my photos.Anyhow I reached my home and while relaxing on the bed there was a call from the reporters who started telling me that tell us the complete story which we shall publish with my photo ,company name and my name in the newspaper on the next day as this is the hottest news of the day in Delhi/NCR.
I requested them that they can change the real name of me and my company name and than can publish it for the safety point but the person on the other hand said that this I should have though before telling the story to the police as Media has the duty of reporting the true story.
I called the police SHO on his cell to ask for his advice and he said to tell the media as this was a simple fight for the seat in the bus and no big story behind else police cannot save me further.
Anyhow I told the media that if they can take the complete responsibility of my safety ,than i can share the complete story with them to which they replied that it's not their responsibility.
Slowly my interest towards a only corporate life sunked with time and I decided to be a "Social activist" who works towards "Women Empowerment","CSR activities for rural employability",
"Moral Science" as compulsory subject at school and college exam.
I would request you to join "Surya Veena Adarsh Niketan Trust" in the social reform and for encouraging the Youth to come at the front and be vigilent to the situations around and work towards improvement.
Thanks & Regards,
