Rohtak: Two braveheart sisters fought back three eve-teasers in a public bus in Rohtak, Haryana, even as the co-passengers remained mute spectators.
The alleged eve-teasers used derogatory language and made obscene gestures before the girls retaliated. The incident took place on Friday.
An amateur video footage shot by one of the co passengers travelling in the bus revealed the girls being pushed by the men after they protested against the obscene language and gestures.
“We boarded the bus from Rohtak bus stand, this boy started teasing us by trying to give his phone number to us. When we protested, he called his friends and they started making obscene gestures. When I walked up to him asking not to make such gestures, he grabbed me by the neck while others held back my sister,” said one of the victims.
To rescue her sister, who was being grabbed by the neck, the other sister said she took out her belt and attacked the eve teasers. The two sisters fought the eve teasers but the co-passengers did not seem to intervene. Finally, the girls were thrown out of the bus.
“My sister then took out her belt and started hitting them. They left me and attacked my sister, then I went to save her. In the end they threw us both out of the bus,” she said.
The braveheart sisters said that they had filed a complaint with the police and hoped that the perpetrators would soon be caught.
Meanwhile, the SHO of Rohtak police station Gajendra Singh said a complaint had been registered against the accused and added that the public must take a stand in such cases.
“We have registered complaint against three accused persons, investigation is going on, the culprits will be arrested. It is regrettable that nobody came to help the girls, it is our duty to take a stand in such cases,” he added.
