MUMBAI: An incident of the molestation of a foreign woman has come to light in Mumbai, with the woman herself sharing details of the disturbing episode by posting a video on her social media profile.
While sharing the video, the female traveller wrote: "This was the first time something like this happened to me in India — and I’ve been here for two months now. Most of my experience has been beautiful, kind, and welcoming. But this day was different."
"They kept following us and asking for photos even after I said no multiple times. I didn’t feel comfortable, and they were extremely pushy. They followed us for over 15 minutes, and it started to feel really overwhelming. At one point, I had to physically push them away just to create space. Just a reminder that ‘no’ is a full sentence. And your safety and comfort always come first, " she added.
According to Mumbai Police, FIR No. 97/26 under Sections 78(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been registered at Agripada Police Station against two unidentified accused. Further investigation is currently underway.
