a woman suffocates, her face and body so bruised
a man handling her, with his arms and brawn strong
a female reporter this man she publicly abused
...just in time the woman from him she would save
but it was this man who was the knight and the feminazi the knave
he was rapid to rescue as the bridge capsized and fell
but barked the reporter like a bitch from hell
eager to show men only in one benighted light
to give India a bad press - this is her... right?
this from the gender who can do no wrong?
but this is the news story, this is the song!
Fiction not fact - her fake news smells
But the world on steroid stereotypes dwells.
It is the truth that is molested.

prompted by:
tragedy where a woman working as Journalist with a newspaper could see only an imaginary "Molestation" by a man who was trying to save lives in a short video of few seconds.....
'The Hindu' was challenged by the real facts and printed its retraction:
Retraction by the The Hindu : The report titled 'Dying woman molested, video shows' (October 1, Mumbai edition) by Vedika Chaubey stated that a video clip showed a bystander molesting a woman who was breathing her last in the stampede at Elphinstone station. A perusal of the clip does not warrant such a conclusion. We regret the publication of this report, which was the result of the failure to adhere to journalistic norms in both reporting and editorial supervision. This story is being withdrawn from all online platforms of The Hindu. Editor
