A disturbing video has surfaced showing a group of shirtless men harassing a woman biker on a highway in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. The incident, which occurred last week, has sparked outrage on social media, with many demanding immediate police action.
The video, recorded by the woman biker, a social media influencer known as "Rider Noni" on Instagram, shows the men hanging out of a speeding car, blowing flying kisses and making lewd gestures towards her. The car, reportedly filled with several men, can be seen driving recklessly alongside the biker. The registration number of the vehicle, UP 15 EH 2344, indicates that it is registered in Uttar Pradesh. The biker claimed that the men were "goons" from Uttar Pradesh.
In the video, the woman expresses her fear and frustration, highlighting how such incidents make women feel unsafe. She tagged the Uttarakhand Police in her post, urging them to take action against the accused. She also requested other social media users to share the video widely to help identify the culprits and bring them to justice. Rider Noni captioned her video: “How a mother less behavior looks like. In jaise logon ki wajah se ladkiyaan surakshit mehsoos nahi karti hain.”
Despite the clear evidence in the video and the widespread outrage, initial reports suggest that no immediate action was taken by the police. The biker claimed that she approached a police officer in a patrol car during the incident, but no assistance was provided. This alleged inaction has further fueled public anger, with many questioning the authorities' response to such incidents of harassment.
The incident underscores the challenges women face while traveling alone, even on public highways. It also highlights the need for stricter enforcement of traffic laws and more effective measures to prevent harassment and ensure the safety of women. Social media users are calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the men involved, demanding that they be held accountable for their actions.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident or the steps being taken to investigate the matter. As the video continues to circulate online, pressure is mounting on the police to take swift and decisive action to send a strong message that such behavior will not be tolerated. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of creating a safer environment for women and ensuring that perpetrators of harassment are brought to justice.
