In another case, according to PTI, on March 4 the Delhi Police arrested a 24-year-old autorickshaw driver for allegedly misbehaving with a woman journalist during a ride in Bharat Nagar.
A few days ago the journalist had tweeted about the incident.
“I took an auto from my home to a friend’s place. After a while, I noticed that the driver was looking at me through the side mirrors of the auto, precisely at my breasts. I shifted a bit towards right and wasn’t visible in the left side mirror,” the woman journalist said in a tweet. “He then started looking into the right side of the mirror. I then shifted to the extreme left and wasn’t visible in any of the mirrors. He then started looking back again and again to see me. I first tried using the safety feature of @uber, but to no avail,” she said in another tweet.
