Woman recounts sexual misconduct by 50-year-old inside Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus

A woman from Delhi, who took a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus from her workplace to the metro station, has claimed that a 50-year-old man on the bus harassed her, leaving her feeling deeply uncomfortable. According to the complaint, when she confronted the elderly man and raised her voice against his actions, he completely ignored her, as though she were speaking to someone else. She shared her distressing encounter on Reddit, saying, “I was harassed on the DTC bus, and I feel absolutely awful. I didn’t know how to react, and I’m in tears.” She went on to provide a detailed account of her experience. “I was taking the DTC bus from my office to the metro station, and it was incredibly crowded. A man in his 50s was standing behind me, and suddenly, I felt something inappropriate against my backside. At first, I thought it might have been accidental, so I moved forward slightly. But the same thing happened again, and I realized what was happening. I was taken aback and frustrated. I turned to him and said, ‘Please maintain some distance, alright.’ Just then, the bus driver hit the brakes, causing everyone to lurch forward. This distraction meant that people near me couldn’t fully grasp the situation. Despite raising my voice, the man simply ignored me and shifted behind me as though I were talking to someone else,” the user recounted. “I’m livid and feel utterly repulsed right now. I should have strongly reprimanded him using strong language. I should have made enough noise to get him thrown off the bus. But I was so shocked by what had just occurred that I couldn’t react,” she continued. The comments section of her post was filled with others who related to her ordeal.
