  1. Hi,
    I browsed through some of your articles and it seems you have been aggressive against the whole issue of eve teasing in public places and I support it. I also found that some of you have taken real pictures of the perpetrators but then blurred it. I assume the philosophy is not to go after the criminal but raise awareness about the crime. But here I disagree. Can you just be a bit more aggressive. Many times the accused may be an employed person or someone with a family of his own. Why dont you instead go the extra mile and ferociously pursue him? For example- limit this approach to only people you think you can find in the social network circles. His face can be identified from the photo, his vehicle if you have the No. and description, the place of the crime( eg- a cafe). In such cases you may track the person by sending those info to the people in that locality over Orkut/Myspace(/physically). If you do get lucky and someone does identify him, you can reveal him to all the people in his contact list and make an attempt at ostracizing him. This is far better and effective than going through the legal hassles.People who are involved in such petty crimes are likely to be young and vulnerable emotionally and their punishment may serve as a deterrent for others. Also this process might bring more people in touch with your project. I acknowledge that the project might get strenuous. Hence I suggest that people take up this cases selectively and hopefully in co-ordination with as many friends as possible. It would take a maximum of a 5/6 days to get a positive result and I feel this might be lot better than involving the police or just let it pass by.
