Gender Biased Laws can lead to an extreme form of harassment for the men, especially if the girl or her family wants to fix him (even after being in a consensual relationship). One such incident has been reported from Ghaziabad, NCR, where a young man tried to end life, after he was charged under the Goonda Act.
While fortunately, the man was saved from dying, his videos have come to light, where he had shared his ordeal.

Here’s What Happened
Neeraj Yadav, (25), a resident of New Defence Colony in Tila Mor, claimed to be in love with a girl, whose family framed him in two cases. Neeraj who is a cab driver by profession, through his videos said that the police was trying to frame him under the Goonda Act.
Due to such serious charges, Neeraj said he was left with no option but to end his life.
Attempt to Suicide
In one of the videos, Neeraj revealed that he was in a relationship with a girl and thus he went to her house to talk to her father about their marriage. But her family allegedly beat him up, injured his head, and her father framed him in a case, for which he remained in jail for two months. When he came out on bail, things just got worse.
In the second video, Neeraj said,
Agar mai goonda hota toh aur criminal cases hota, lekin uske alawa mere upar ar koi case nahi hai
(If I was a criminal, I would have had more cases against me, but I have only one)

Statement by Victim’s Brother
Speaking with TOI, Neeraj’s elder brother Rajkumar said on Wednesday at 9pm, Neeraj asked his sister Neetu to cook food and went to his room on the third floor. After some time, Neetu found him Neeraj trying to hang himself from the ceiling fan in his room with a rope. Neetu managed to save him and alerted the others. He said,
We took him to hospital, where doctors said his condition is critical.
Adding further, Rajkumar said,
On August 21, 2022, Neeraj, went to his lover’s house with a marriage proposal, but her father beat him up and made a police complaint against him.
On August 22 last year, police booked Neeraj under IPC sections 354 (molestation) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and SC/ST Act sections. They arrested him on August 23 and sent him to jail. On September 19, 2022, he got bail and left jail.
This was not the end. Rajkumar added,
On December 12, 2022, the girl’s family submitted another complaint. On February 6, we received a notice charging Neeraj under the Goonda Act from the police. It said my brother should be present for a hearing on February 15 at 2 pm in the court of the additional CP in Police Line. But he didn’t go and took this step in the evening.
We have given a written complaint against the girl and her family at Tila Mor police station, but cops are yet to take action.
