'Please wear proper clothes'
“Don’t you have any other clothes at home?” the man yelled at the woman.
He further said, “You must follow Indian rules. Please wear proper clothes.” The woman’s boyfriend, who was behind the camera, can be heard shouting back at the man saying “I know the Constitution? Do you know the Constitution? We have the freedom to wear whatever we want.”
The woman, while talking to a media portal said that she wanted to file a police complaint but strongly felt that even the police would not support her.
However, this is not the first time such an incident has been reported in Bengaluru. In an incident that came to light in May this year, four men harassed a woman and attacked her boyfriend in Banaswadi, when they went for a ride at night. The men asked the couple what they were up to at midnight and molested the woman and threw stones at the guy when told that it was none of their business.
