Girls in Kuchaman City confront shopkeeper for inappropriate behavior

In Kuchaman City, Rajasthan, a group of college students confronted a shopkeeper after he allegedly misbehaved with one of their friends. The incident occurred when the girl visited the shop to recharge her mobile phone, and the shopkeeper demanded that she say 'I love you' before he would assist her. This inappropriate request led the girl to inform her friends, who then decided to take action against the shopkeeper. A video capturing the confrontation went viral on social media, showing the girls thrashing and parading the accused. The shopkeeper, identified as an e-Mitra operator, attempted to flee the scene but was caught by the girls and brought back to the shop. They held him hostage until the police arrived. Local residents also joined in the confrontation, encouraging the girls to retaliate against the shopkeeper's behavior. Although the police reported that the girl did not file a formal complaint, they initiated an investigation into the incident. The shopkeeper's actions, which included grabbing the girl's hand and using obscene language, sparked outrage among the students and the community, highlighting issues of harassment and the need for accountability. This incident reflects a growing intolerance for inappropriate behavior towards women and the willingness of individuals to stand up against such actions.
