I am really shocked.
I am not so shocked with the incident as I am shocked with the reactions of this group. Some one is saying we should be positive, someone is saying that he is not sharing this information someone is saying how life is difficult and how difficult it is to commit a crime when you are blind, someone goes further to say that we should not discuss this on this list. Come on folks lets grow up and see the news for what it is without sensationalising the story.

This is not news that can be brushed under the carpet and kept away from others.

When we share success stories of people with blindness on this list then why cant we share their failures too.

Yes rape is committed by both blind and non blind and that is not newsworthy.

On this group everyone has commented about the accused. No one has commented about the primary victim and the secondary victim.
Dont forget that there were 3 Blind people in this story.

The vulnerability of the Disabled woman is something she has to be more careful of than other women. How many men try and touch and feel blind women. Just because blind men cant see does that mean they dont touch? does it mean that other men are not touching blind women while the blind man is in the same room?

How can a woman protect herself from a man in whose care she has been placed by her husband?

What about prostitution? What about blind men marrying blind women so that these so called wives can be used as income generators.

What about the sexuality of a blind woman? Not directly applicable in this story but may be used as a defence in case this matter really goes to trial.

Havent we learnt from this story to be more careful and not even to trust our blind male friends? Do you think we should have been deprived of this story?

What about the husband?
Atleast in this story the police lodged a complaint. Imagine if you have to lodge a complaint and you are blind-90% of the time the police wont lodge the complain whatever it may be. So this man was lucky .

As a man he has no sense to leave his wife in another man's care? Should he or could he not have taken better care of her? We dont know the circumstances so we cant comment on this issue but so many of you are male and married on this group- is it not your duty whether you are blind or not to ensure that your wife whetehr she is blind or not, is protected to the best of your ability. What about his personal thoughts at this moment-so many times we think of our helplessness in some situations. I am not taking away from our achievements. No amount of technology, no personal helper, cane, guide dog,etc. etc. helps.

The husbands on this group have been shaken up a little and thats good for them and their wives. Its not good for society to read negative news about the Blind but the Blind are also part of the same society.

Thank you for sharing this news item, I would have otherwise missed it.

The rape cases have neither to do with any technology nor
accessibility, I
think these types of news postings should not be brought on the list
as
these types of acts are not confined to any people with any disability
rather a common phenomena.
My personal views only and do not represent the list guidelines.

MUMBAI: The Kolsewadi police in Kalyan (E) on Friday arrested a
39-year-old blind man for allegedly raping his friend's 24-year-old
wife, who is also blind, at his friend's residence in Manpada,
Dombivli, on October 27.

The police also arrested accused Ashok Yadav's friend Mahesh Yadav
(22), also blind, for aiding him.

Investigators said the victim, a resident of Ambernath, and the
accused, from Kalyan (E), sell fruits, vegetables and stationery
items
on local trains and they got friendly due to their common profession.

The matter came to light on Friday, when the victim's husband (also
blind) got suspicious after his wife stopped talking to Ashok.

On repeated questioning, the victim broke down and revealed that
Ashok, on the pretext of repairing a mobile phone, took her to his
friend's flat in Manpada and repeatedly raped her. In the police
complaint, the victim's husband, said, "Before leaving for Pune for
personal work, I decided to leave my wife at my friend Ashok's Kalyan
residence. While leaving her, I bought her a mobile phone and got a
prepaid SIM card. However, she was unable to operate it. When she
asked Ashok to help her in activating it, he claimed that the phone
had to be repaired and took her to Dombivli, where he raped her."

Kolsewadi police assistant inspector I V Vishwakarma said they had
booked Ashok for rape and his accomplice for aiding him in the crime.
"The victim maintained silence for almost a week. The accused were
arrested from their residences."
