Indo-Asian News Service (January 02, 2012 19:23 IST) informs its readers (http://www.ndtv.com/article/cities/new-year-hooliganism-due-to-lack-of-cops-gurgaon-residents-162951&cp):

Gurgaon: The drunken hooliganism witnessed here during New Year celebrations, when hundreds of revellers created ruckus on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road and even molested a woman, occurred due to shortage of police personnel, eyewitnesses said on Monday.

Now it is a remarkable proposition for a free democratic society: the witnesses find the reason for molestation of women to be the absence of police to prevent such behavior. Even more remarkable is the fact the reporter accepted and reported this explanation on the news wire. Perhaps Justice Katju, the chair of Press Council of India is right after all.
