They initially ignored but then the man was constantly stalking them. When they got down the man started following them. Harshita said that she decided to confront the man. The man retaliated saying if he was staring at her what was the problem?

Harshita after this decided to ignore the man and started walking on. They noticed that the man was following them, they stopped and asked him why he was following them. After that, the accused became physical and first slapped Harsita's friend Pala which shook Harshita. She further added that she went to the gym and was physically fit so she decided to teach him a lesson and started hitting him. The man started hitting her as well. The office goers and the co-passengers intervened and in the meanwhile, the police personnel arrived and took them to the GRP chowki on the platform.

Harshita mentioned that when they were at the police station to file an FIR, the accused started crying and even his sister requested them to not file a case as their financial condition was not good. Harshita said that if she had not taught him a lesson then such an act could be repeated and would be dangerous for other women in future.
