Lakshmi, who rushed to the place from Mangaluru along with Srinivas upon learning the death of her son, held her mother responsible for her son’s death and has lodged a complaint in this regard.
The above case is not crimes by Men vs crimes by Women, however, it only demonstrates how women’s rights cells never raise their voice against such offences, but prefer to run one-sided campaigns only when the perpetrators are Men.

Blogging about Equal Rights for Men or writing about Gender Biased Laws is often looked upon as controversial, as many 'perceive' it Anti-Women. Due to this grey area - where we demand Equality in the true sense for all genders - most brands distance themselves from advertising on a portal like ours.
