Since July 2016, I have been pursuing a case against four men for sending me obscene messages on Facebook. Truth be told, I've wanted to see whether seeking the help of law enforcement is a viable solution to gender (and other) crimes in India.

Here's the first article about the case, in the Mid-Day.

This article and this followup Mid-Day article should give you a fair idea about how things were going a year later.

There are two factual errors in the print version of the article, corrected in the online version:
1) "In an attempt to decode the Indian male psyche, and examine sexual violence in India, Kaushal's anthropological research will engage audiences across the country over the next two years." (Not just Facebook and the virtual community.)
2) The books are out in 2019 at the earliest (not in 2017 and 2018).
