The victim was sent for a medical examination, and further investigation is underway. This incident has once again highlighted the issue of women’s safety in public spaces in India. Authorities need to step up efforts to ensure the safety and security of women, especially during odd hours. The incident has sparked outrage among citizens, with many demanding strict action against the perpetrator. It is essential for the legal system to swiftly prosecute such offenders to send a strong message against such heinous crimes. Women should feel safe and secure while going about their daily lives, and it is the responsibility of society as a whole to create a safe environment for all.
