This is sexual harassment and it is not right. I am raising my voice on this issue so that he can remember it.’
Monali further said, ‘If someone shouts like this in the public domain, then it is not right. You should not be like this, you are very young. You should not say such things. It will not be good for anyone to hear this, not just me. I just want to say this. I had to raise my voice on this, because people sneak out. I spoke when I got the chance. If others would have known, I would have told others too that this is really wrong.’
