The women are visibly disturbed at the sight of a couple of motorcyclists hounding the rickshaw, catcalling and leering at the women. One man jumps onto the rickshaw, out of nowhere, and forcibly "kisses" the woman. Startled, she and the woman beside her scream but no one intervenes, The News International reported.
