There is no definitive proof of a changing mindset in Haryana when it comes to treating girls and women with respect. In essence, Mishra is saying men will be men, and they can’t control their primordial urges. This is dangerous and indeed unfortunate because if a top cop displays this attitude, the rank and file are expected to do no better. He is merely firefighting in the wake of a public outcry. In terms of absolute numbers, 1,070 rapes in 2016, according to NCRB figures, give a fair indication of the situation on the ground.
