She then registered an FIR against the trio, who turned out to be from the same neighbourhood where she stayed.<br id=\"ms__id697\" \/><br id=\"ms__id698\" \/>Later, on the intervention of some people, she agreed to retract her complaint. The matter could well have been hushed up and ended there, but it reached the Delhi High Court for quashing the FIR. <br id=\"ms__id699\" \/><br id=\"ms__id700\" \/>Justice Pratibha Rani, before whom the matter came up for hearing, expressed shock that not only civilians but even Delhi Police officers were not safe from being sexually harassed in the capital.<br id=\"ms__id701\" \/><br id=\"ms__id702\" \/>She slammed the youths for &#8220;disrespecting women&#8221;, asking: &#8220;If a woman police officer can&#8217;t walk on the street what will happen to common girls?&#8221; A recent Delhi Police report submitted to the high court had pointed towards a 16 percent rise in cases of crime against women in the capital.<br id=\"ms__id703\" \/><br id=\"ms__id704\" \/>Despite the furore in the wake of the December 16, 2012, gang-rape, there has been a record 35 percent rise, with 1,794 rapes being reported so far this year against 1,330 last year.<br id=\"ms__id705\" \/><br id=\"ms__id706\" \/>Police statistics also show that the number of molestation and eve-teasing cases have increased as well. Delhi recorded over 3,450 cases of molestation and 1,024 cases of eve-teasing this year against 2,544 and 793 cases last year.<\/p>\n<p>Remarking that the woman constable should have taught the accused a lesson then and there, the judge said: &#8220;You were alone that time (when the accused were molesting the constable).
