More on the creepy video shared by the woman of harassment on a train.

Sharing the video, she wrote that the experience left her deeply uncomfortable. She added, “A man, around 50–60 years old, kept staring at my body continuously and behaving in a very disturbing and creepy way. I recorded this video quietly for my own safety.” Addressing potential victim-blaming, she stressed that the incident had nothing to do with her clothing. “What was I wearing? A kurti, loose bottoms, and a mask — and yet this still happened. So no, it’s not about the clothes,” she wrote in the comments section. She went on to reveal that this wasn’t her first such experience. She recounted an earlier incident where she was allegedly inappropriately touched by an elderly man, but chose to remain silent at that time. She said, “This time, I refuse to let it go,” and added that she has reported the matter to the Railway Protection Force (RPF) at Ernakulam South. According to her, officials have assured her that appropriate action will be taken.

Netizens react to the viral video.

One user reacted, “I also had a really bad experience with him, but I didn’t take any action or record proof back then. It happened during a trip from Alappuzha to Kannur a couple of months ago. It’s really good that you recorded this and posted it. I’m sure this is how he behaves all the time, and he should be punished.🙌” Another expressed, “Exposing behavior like that is exactly what needs to happen. Great work🔥” One comment read, “Someone’s father, someone’s husband, someone’s son, someone’s favourite uncle😷 let this reel reach them.”

Calling for accountability, she wrote, “Stop harassing women. We are not your victims. We are not objects for your sick behavior. Every woman deserves to feel safe, no matter where she is or what she wears.”
