A woman has claimed that a man masturbated at her inside a metro station complex here, prompting the police to register a case against an unidentified person.
The alleged incident took place around 9.30 pm on June 14 when the woman was walking out of a clothing store inside the Huda City Centre Metro Station complex, she said in a tweet.
"I was climbing down escalators just outside the store when I felt something was wrong at my back. When I turned, a guy was shagging just behind me and i realised that he masturbated on me," she claimed from an unverified Twitter handle.
She said that she slapped the man and shouted for help but nobody came forward as the man fled from there. She alleged that the police outpost nearby was closed, while policemen at some distance were busy with auto-rickshaw drivers.
A senior DMRC official, when contacted, said, the alleged incident took place inside the premises of Huda City Centre Metro Station "but the woman did not lodge any complaint with security authorities there".
"She posted about it on Twitter and we have responded," he said.
In a series of tweets made, the woman wrote on Monday afternoon, "I was shocked, scared, traumatised. And I feel shame that metro, which is supposed to be the safest mode of transport for women, where chief minister is offering free rides to women, lacks clearly in making it safe in the first place. It's like you step out and you are on your own... (sic)."
