What is happening in this country 😢😓😞

Disturbing videos are surfacing online that a mob of more than 100 people have attacked the protesting doctors in RG Kar Hospital. It really feels like a politically motivated mob. This Independence Day has really shown us the truth of Independence we have.

All the support of the police/system/politicians/most of the public is for the criminals. No words to describe this heinous crime happening so openly with the support of everyone in power. Citizens are not treated equally even after so many years of independence.

Can someone smart enough explain?

So aaj subah, I stepped down at Nizamuddin Station and I was walking towards the Gate number 2 exit. Usi time, ek aadmi bumped into me and that bump felt very strategically planned and groped my chest. I screamed at him and then went off. Next, I was on the escalator and again he came behind me and started catcalling me ( dash is so big and stuff like that). He even started pushing my purse around to feel me. Tab hi, I confronted him again and he got defensive. I started screaming at him and called the RPF, he then ran away. I tried catching him, he fell but then ran away and I couldn't stop as I had multiple bags with me. I feel very scared, awful and weird. I've never encountered such type of a situation. And the man had the audacity to grope someone twice and he was a middle aged dude.
