You may have seen the news recently about the disturbing trend of increased eve-teasing and stalking of women in public spaces, including bus stops. But you may not have believed it would happen to someone you know.38-year-old Abdul Qureshi from Hyderabad broke down in court as he pleaded for a reduced sentence, claiming to be a married man with children. But despite this, Qureshi was sentenced to two days in jail for his crime of eve-teasing a young woman at a bus stop, a sentence that was reduced from the initial eight-day judicial custody. This sentence is a warning to others who may consider engaging in such despicable behavior.

The authorities in Hyderabad are taking concerns around eve-teasing seriously. Recently, they created special teams, including the SHE team that arrested Qureshi, to prevent inappropriate behavior toward women at busy places like bus stops and colleges.

The police have been working hard to address this issue, and their efforts have led to arrests and convictions like that of Abdul Qureshi. Let's hope that these actions send a strong message and trend toward preventing such offenses in the first place. It's time we all take responsibility to ensure women feel safe and respected in public spaces.
