00:00This is the back lane that I showed you earlier when there was light.
00:03This is the lane that most girls who study at LSR take going back to their PG accommodations.
00:09Completely desolate in the evening.
00:11Right now you can actually hear the chants of the girls protesting because they have taken out a march in
00:16solidarity
00:17to reclaim their right to be able to walk safely to their college and back.
00:27No CCTVs like I pointed out.
00:30Completely desolate and we are walking now to the back gate.
00:33This is the gate that most of these young girls use to come into the college.
00:38So instead of taking the front gate, a lot of them who have their PG's on the other side of
00:42this park cross over
00:45and come and use the back gate.
00:48And this is exactly the spot.
00:49You see that back gate on your right hand side?
00:51I will just show you right here.
00:53This is exactly the spot where the encounter or one of the accused of the gang rape took place.
00:59So the back gate right here, inner lane, which is completely desolate, Amit will show you, hardly anyone there.
01:10Usually they tell me that there are men standing about, sexually harassing them, flashing at them, masturbating, showing them porn.
01:21And today, right here, you see these girls trying to reclaim their space.
01:30Because I could have ended this entire broadcast in the front gates of Lady Sriram College.
01:39It's my alma mater.
01:40I'm an alumni from Lady Sriram College.
01:42I've chosen to end it at the back lanes of it because this is the reality of one of the
01:47most affluent, one of the most sought-after, one of the best academia-wise colleges, not just in Delhi, but
01:57across the country.
01:59And you can, viewers, accuse me and charge me for being elitist because this is just the sophisticated, elitist face
02:09of sexual assault, of rape, and the culture around it where the national capital is concerned.
02:15So that's why it's making so much news.
02:17I could have and I should have also done this report or filed this report from Krishnanagar, Central Delhi, where
02:23a six-year-old girl was raped.
02:25But, like I said, this is the elite face of the rape culture of the national capital.
02:32And one has to end it right here.
02:35So this is Preeti Chaudhuri reporting with my camera person, video journalist Amit Kumar, at the back gate of Lady
02:42Sriram College in Delhi for India today.
02:46Hoping that possibly this protest, this one incident finally changes things for this one college at least.
