'If she wears this, people will rape her': Bengaluru driver
In Indiranagar, Bengaluru, a woman was verbally abused and threatened with rape by an auto-rickshaw driver for wearing a short skirt.
The incident happened around 3pm when the driver shouted at her and her boyfriend, saying things like, "If she wears things like this, people will rape her. I will rape her," targeting her clothing.
No police action or complaint filed yet
Her boyfriend stayed calm and responded to the threats, after which the driver swore at them and left.
The woman later shared what happened on Reddit, worried about women who might face this alone.
She described the man as older with balding white hair but couldn't get his vehicle number.
So far, no police action has been reported or complaint filed—if pursued, such threats could count as criminal intimidation and sexual harassment under Indian law.
