The women were waiting for a cab when a group of "middle-aged" men approached and harassed them with offensive questions.
An utterly disgraceful incident took place in Delhi’s Hauz Khas Village area. In a video that surface only recently shows two women from Northeastern part of India angrily confronting a group of men who harassed them outside a pub in the area.
The women were waiting for a cab when one group of men approached and asked offensive questions. One of the men asked ‘Rate kya hai?’ which translates to “what’s your price?”, assuming the women to be sex workers.
When confronted by the women, the group panicked and fled, apologizing on the way. The video was also shared by Swati Maliwal, chairperson of Delhi Commission of Women (DCW). She wrote alongside the video on the post, “Came across a shameful video on social media wherein some women from the North East have alleged that a group of men have racially and sexually harassed them and asked, “Tumhara rate kya hai”. This is a very very serious matter, issuing Notice to Delhi Police to register FIR.”
DCW chief Maliwal issued a notice to the police taking suo moto cognisance of the matter, asking them to file and FIR and initiate an investigation.
“I saw this video on social media and was disgusted to see how the group of men were fearlessly harassing the girls. Strong deterrence needs to be created against sexual harassment so that no one dares to commit such a crime. We have issued a notice to the police seeking an FIR and probe in the matter,” said Maliwal.
Furthermore, media reports suggest that the unfortunate day continued for the women and they were allegedly discriminated against by a policeman who repeatedly asked, “Are you a dancer?” and about their destinated, when they were headed to a restaurant.
As per East Mojo, the two women have been residents of Delhi for 2 and 5 years and said that this was the first time they had faced such “blatant sexism and racial discrimination.”
