It seems that groping is a great leveler, not even sparing high-profile celebrities.
When Bipasha Basu, a true-blue Bengali decided to take part in the on-going Durga Puja festivities with boyfriend John Abraham, the last thing she expected was to be sexually groped by a sick minded stranger. The actress had a horrifying time when she was at The North Bombay Sarvojonin Durga Puja at Santacruz on Saturday evening.
If this can happen so easily to a star, what realistic chances do you give a normal woman of evading molesters on a normal day ?
On the other hand, this is another good reason to ban public festivals. Public festivals tend to be grope-fests, but more than that, people’s religions have no business being on the street.
If you want to celebrate, do it at home. If you want to celebrate in your apartment complex, be rich enough to buy the whole damn thing, then celebrate. If you want to celebrate on the streets, join politics, takes bribes left, right and center, be voted into power, flex some muscles over the corporation, buy a street, and then celebrate.
You get the point.

dude i disagree with u man !!!
as usual… i mean in this case you are not addressing the cause. Just by banning public festivals you cannot get rid of the guys groping girls in buses , trains etc etc …. I think u get my point.

@Aditya : I am just using this case to push forward my agenda of banning public festivals, which are a nuisance in every sense [:)] To quote “On the other hand, this is another good reason to ban public festivals.”
