Woman alleges man grabbed her breasts while shopping in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar with husband

A disturbing account of sexual assault has surfaced from Delhi's Lajpat Nagar, where a woman shared her experience of being groped while shopping with her husband. The incident has sparked a wave of similar stories from others who have faced harassment, highlighting the pervasive issue of sexual assault in public places.

The woman took to Reddit to detail the harrowing event, which occurred in broad daylight while she was out with her husband. In her post, she described how a man in traditional attire groped her and walked away as if nothing had happened. The incident left her feeling violated and in tears.

"I was in Lajpat Nagar with my husband. We were both standing and looking in different directions, trying to find a particular store," she wrote. "A tall man in a dhoti and kurta walked between us, literally held my breast, and walked off. I realized what happened and hit him from the back, not too hard because I initially thought it might have been a mistake."

Despite her initial hesitation, it became clear to her that the man's actions were deliberate. "He turned around and made a face like he knew nothing, but you could tell he did it with full intention and tried to hide it with a straight face," she added. "I told my husband what happened. He abused the man and ran after him, but I asked him to leave it and called him back. He came back, but I felt dirty and cried. For some reason, I even blamed my husband too."

The woman's post quickly went viral, with many people expressing their outrage and sharing their own experiences of harassment. The incident has brought to light the need for greater safety measures and awareness to protect individuals, especially women, in public spaces.

In response to her post, numerous comments poured in from people offering support and advice. Some shared their own traumatic experiences, while others called for stricter enforcement of laws against sexual harassment. The woman's story is a stark reminder of the everyday battles that many face against unwanted advances and the psychological toll it takes.

"What should I have done? What should my husband have done? Why do I feel like this? How can someone hold my breast in public and walk off?" she questioned in her post, reflecting the confusion and helplessness that often accompany such incidents.

This case underscores the importance of addressing sexual harassment in all its forms and ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable. The incident in Lajpat Nagar is not an isolated one but part of a larger pattern of abuse that many endure in silence. It calls for collective action to create a safer environment where everyone can go about their daily lives without fear of assault or harassment.
