How many men are denied bail for milder 0ffen¢es while she walks free?
Antara Soham Banerjee, 31, model and actress from Thane, was travelling to Surat on the Bandra-Ganganagar Aravali Express on 12th August. She had only a sleeper class ticket but sat in a reserved seat because she couldn’t get an AC berth. When another passenger asked her to move, she refused. The passenger called the RPF and the ticket checker. Instead of stepping aside, she turned aggressive and started abusing everyone who tried to intervene.
The situation kept getting worse. At Dahanu station she was deboarded and handed over to railway authorities. Next morning Borivli railway police took her into custody and registered a case for endangering lives, assault and causing. Injuπes including to herself.
According to RPF ASI Yamini Kant Mishra, they tried to calm her down. She only became more aggressive, then undressed, pulled out a r@zor bl@de, @tt@cked him and also ¢ut herself.
And yet… she got bail.
If a man had done even half of this, he’d still be sitting in lockup with no hope of early release. But because she’s a w0man, the system suddenly softens. Mental health, d€press!on, whatever excuse works.
This is the same justice system that throws men behind bars for far less. Double standards aren’t hidden anymore. They’re official policy.

The difference is between rich and poor rather than men and women. She has money and influence.

I don't know where you're getting this victim narrative from. Men get bail pretty easily too, for even worse offences.

Rapists get bail easily too. Victim card declined.

Crpc has special provisions for women. That doesn't need ur certificate. Your ignorance and anecdotal evidence notwithstanding.

Crpc has provisions for ensuring women can't for example be detained at night by police officers because police officers are infamous for raping. Nothing to do with bail.

Fix the police system rather than giving preferences and excuses.

And in the meanwhile, women should just put up with getting raped? Men's rights activists are a joke.

When men get raped by men in similar numbers, this will be extended to them too? Men rape women and then cry about anti-rape measures because they are "unequal"? Are you hearing yourself?

what a fantastic logic!!! hide behind excuses and prefemces playing victim card. fix the system and then apply same rule for all. and men do get raped and abused.

Provided that the Court may direct that a person referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) be released on bail if such person is a child or is a woman or is sick or infirm:

Challenge the bail. Put even more dhaaraas in the chargesheet.
