A 16-year-old boy from Delhi recently shared a harrowing experience on Reddit and later ‘X’, recounting a disturbing encounter with a man on the metro who he says sexually assaulted him. Posting on the ‘Delhi’ subreddit, the teenager described boarding the train at Rajiv Chowk and suddenly feeling something touching his backside. He realised a man was gently rubbing his fingers on his private parts.
“I grabbed his hand back and he started touching my hand, which shocked me but I couldn’t react and moved ahead,” the OP began as he recounted the ordeal on ‘X’. But it was far from over. In his words, “He tried to touch me again and was successful. This time I pinched his hand hard, and it probably started bleeding so he stopped for a while. All of this happened while I couldn’t see his face. Then I thought we’re probably done here and I desperately waited to deboard.”

Even then, the assailant didn’t stop and touched him for the third time. Out of extreme anger, the OP pulled his hair and also managed to click a picture of him. Then, while desperately waiting for his destination to arrive, he hoped it would be over. Unfortunately, “As soon as I reached my station (Kashmere gate) I got out and tried to go the opposite way trying to trick him and it worked for a while but eventually I had to go to the yellow line and he caught me on my way. I got on the escalator as fast as I could.”

At that moment, he “ran for his life” as fast as he could, eventually finding a security guard who ensured his safe escort.
This terrifying experience prompted him to report it to the Delhi Police, who responded to his ‘X’ post, requesting his contact details.
