Indore: Model girl alleges to have her skirt pulled by men on road
Indore, Apr 23 (IBNS): In yet another case of harassment, a model girl from Indore, Madhya Pradesh has alleged to have her skirt pulled by two men on a busy road on Sunday, media reports said.
The girl, who took to Twitter to reveal the incident, made the allegations that the men had also asked her to reveal what she had (wearing) under the skirt.
Her tweet has been quoted by NDTV, "I was coming back from a bloggers meet. I was wearing a skirt. Two guys came near me and tried to pull my skirt. 'Dikhao iske niche kya hai?' they said. It all happened within a few seconds. I fell down, but nobody tried to stop them.
"It happened on one of the busiest roads of Indore, and nobody tried to stop them. They ran away, and I couldn't even see their number. I've never felt so helpless. I'm not the kind of girl who will just sit and watch."
The model said she received no support but one elder man who accused her of wearing a skirt.
"Just because I was wearing a skirt, doesn't give you a right to behave like that. What I want to wear is my f**king choice. An uncle who came to help me after my fall said, "it's because you're wearing a skirt!" I've never been so offended" the girl added to her tweet.
There were no CCTV cameras on the particular road.
Hari Narayan Chari Mishra, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Indore police told NDTV, "We have not received any complaint yet. We are committed towards taking serious action in incidents of crime against women."
