According to the video shared by the survivor on social media, she was riding to Uttarakhand on Saturday and was on a highway when the accused arrived in a speeding car.
“When these people saw a woman going on a bike, they started making obscene gestures at me. I have made a video of their actions. I want to give courage to other women like me by making a video of such an incident. I want to say that such incidents should not be ignored. The actions of such people should be exposed so that others can learn a lesson,” the woman said.
The video shared by the woman showed two shirtless men leaning out of a moving vehicle and blowing kisses at her. They can also be heard making obscene remarks, while one of the accused could be seen attempting to dance hanging from the fourth-wheeler. The vehicle seemed overcrowded.
“Let us take a video of the vehicle number plate. They have been sending a lot of kisses. I shall also show them what it means to send kisses to someone,” the woman could be heard saying in the video.
“The people from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi often visit Uttarakhand on Saturday and Sunday. I would like to tell them to come to their senses. Do not come to our Uttarakhand if you want to indulge in such acts… Stay in your limits… Do such activities in your city, house, or in front of your parents,” the woman added.
In her Instagram post, the woman also tagged the Uttarakhand Police and hoped to get help with the case.
