A 27-year-old man working in a Borivli old age home is free just months after he raped a 54-year-old colleague and impregnated her. There is no case registered against him. A report in this newspaper is an indicator of how crimes against women continue unabated, despite more stringent punishment, turnaround in attitudes towards sexual harassment and crime and greater awareness.

The report goes on to say that a social worker is helping the survivor. It is disappointing though that the culprit continues to be in the old age home, drawing a salary from the institution even after this crime.
