Social activist Usha Thakur,who rushed to the aid of the two sisters Anuradha and Sonali Behl said the fact that their condition went unnoticed for as long as six months raises a question on the society at large. What were they doing?
Thakur,who reached the Behls first-floor flat in Sector 29 along with police and a few members of her NGO on Tuesday,had jumped over on to the terrace and peeped inside.
I saw the two women. One was on the couch,the other was abusing us, she said. Residents of the locality,meanwhile,said privacy was respected in the neighbourhood.
The editor of localitys newsletter Community Samvad,Kiran Bhardwaj,said: Many people dont like interference. These sectors are full of senior citizens and also floating population of students. In a few neighborhoods,they keep to their units…. They usually meet in clubs. Privacy is respected.
The neighbours said they did their bit,but the sisters denied them access and refused all help. They checked on them through Vinod Kumar,the man who supplied groceries to the sisters. They did not want to intrude beyond that.
On Wednesday,Thakur registered an FIR against the Sector 29 RWA,claiming negligence.
