Samar Khan said that the man sped away after the incident as she tried to follow him on her cycle. “Since I was on a cycle, I lost his sight,” she said adding that she would have set an example out of that man if he would have been caught.
She further lamented over the behaviour of the passers-by and asked as to why such incidents are taken casually and people just move on without taking serious notice of such acts.
“Three to four people saw it happening but did nothing to stop it,” the WWF goodwill ambassador narrated.
