Recently, a shocking incident occurred near the Gomti Nagar railway station in Lucknow, where 16 men molested a young woman who was trying to escape the heavy rain and waterlogging on her motorcycle. The accused men were lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to misbehave with her. They began teasing her, flying her dupatta in the air, and making obscene gestures. Amidst the chaos, passersby sought help from police personnel, who promptly arrested the accused and sent them to jail under relevant sections.
