"You're asking for forgiveness, why, because I'm a girl? And you have the right to touch me anytime anywhere you want to?"
These are questions a young woman posed to her alleged molester on an Indigo flight on January 31. He had allegedly tried to grab her several times from between the seats and kept doing so until she jumped up from her seat and started recording him on video on her phone.
She posted the video on youtube where it swiftly went viral, viewed about 1.25 lakh times. It has also been shared many times over on social media sites.
Describing the incident, she wrote: 'This man on the seat behind mine, put his fingers in the seat gap to touch me. I was very shocked for some time to react. By then the flight went to landing mode. Then the moment flight touched down, I got up. Saw his hand was again on the side ready to take up any opportunity to touch me. I created such a scene, humiliated him in front of the whole flight. He thought like usual girls will keep quiet and he can get away with this. I have lodged an FIR now. He is a very rich man of Bhubaneswar and is now very humiliated in front of the people who know him. Can't believe the ordeal I had to go through but being silent is a crime. The police officer was very helpful and the Indigo staff remained with me throughout. The man is under police custody currently."
The next day, February 1, a second video did the rounds where you can see the man trying to brush off the incident and tell the young woman - "I made a mistake, a big mistake. You know I am a father of a girl too."
The woman has claimed the man is in police custody now. She says in the video - "You decided the action, I will decide the reaction."
According to the woman's statement, this man is in police custody now. She says in the video - "You decided the action, I will decide the reaction."
