Gone are the days when headlines were only about women getting harassed– based on the type of incidents that are coming forward from the last few months– even “men are not safe from men”– or so is what the internet believes. Just a few days ago, a video had come forward from Uttar Pradesh, which had shown a minor boy getting harassed and inappropriately touched by his Rapido bike driver. The matter was hardly out of the spotlight when another similar video came forward quite recently.
The video was shared by a young student, who had allegedly taken a public bus to his college. However, the bus ride turned into a pure nightmare for him after he allegedly got touched inappropriately by a co-passenger.
Capturing the “disgusting” act on his phone, the student’s video showed a middle-aged man touching his intimate regions.
The video immediately went viral, pulling many reactions. Most questioned safety in general “from men” in India, while others suggested filing a complaint.
Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post.
The post was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘yxvrx7’. The post was shared 3 days ago and pulled over 132K views from netizens. “Should I carry pepper spray?” the post read.
Internet’s reactions:
“Bhai nobody is safe from these lusty men. What is wrong with India? And what is wrong with men in general?” a user asked. “The fact it was done by a man to a man, what has happened to their sense?” asked the next person.
“I’m so sorry, this is so disturbing to even watch,” commented the next person. “Dude are you okay wtf?” asked another internet user in the comments. “This is simply disgusting/ File a case, you have recorded the man’s face and you have clear evidence,” suggested the next. “File a complaint dude,” wrote another.
