In a shocking incident, a woman has reported being regularly harassed by unknown men in Mumbai's Juhu area. She shared her ordeal on social media, stating that this is the third time she has faced harassment from semi-naked men in the same location. According to her post, these men misbehave by loudly calling out to her after removing their pants in the middle of the road.
Viyaa Doshi took to X to share her ordeal, posting a video in which a man is seen running on the footpath in shorts and a vest in Juhu's Janki Kutir area. In the video, the woman can be heard calling out to the man who is jogging.
