Bhubaneswar:
An eve-teaser has been thrashed by two Utkal University girls after he passed lewd comments on one of the girls.
The incident happened on Sunday when a girl was going to meet one of her friends in the University. First she heard some abusive words and was then followed by a man with a bizarre offer to go with him for all the wrong reasons. In panic she phoned her friend who came to her rescue and then gave befitting reply to the eve teaser.
The girl has shared her story on her Facebook page:
“A strange thing happened today with me. Or I should say this type of strange things happens with every other girl in our society. I was going to meet one of my friends in Utkal University today. After leaving my auto i was walking towads the ladies hostel from the Main Gate. Suddenly I heard really abusive words from backside. As i turned back i saw a man about 50yrs was there. He called me to sit on his bike and go with him. I didn't respond anything. And walked afterwards.
The road was empty as this is a sunday. Then he again came in front of me and put his pants down and said really bad things again by lying he's the son of the VC of the University. There were few auto drivers too but they ignored. I got really scared and called one of my known friends from that university Arpita di. She arrived within 2mins but that man was gone. I was so panicked that I got tears in my eyes. She just said to sit on her scooty and I could see her eyes filled with so much anger by seeing me this miserable. We collected two sticks of bamboo from roadside. We searched him all over.
After a while we saw him coming from front of us on Pani tanki road. Arpita Di stopped him and within seconds she started beating him and I got courage from her to hit him hard. We were beating him till we called for the cops. People were there to just watch the show. Police also didn't stop us. After sometime they took him to Shaheed Nagar Police station and we were called for the F.I.R. formalities. Arpita di had hurt herself while beating him.
So we went for the hospital around as the dispensary of the University was closed. I could feel the courage inside me. I felt quite strong after this incident happened with us. Got to realise that its all inside of us. It was her who made me feel that "Yes I'm a girl and nobody has the damn right to behave like this with me."
Friends I request you all to SHARE this as fast as you can. People should see this person's face. So that he or anyone like him who thinks girls are weak, can never do again those things which he did to me. PLEASE SHARE.
Miss Arpita Aparajita Badajena dii today whatever u had done for me It is really remarkable nd I always respect that till the end of my life. Thank u to support me and playing role of a big bro. You are the real hero of my life. Thank u... I know thanks is a small word.
