According to Gautam, around 15 to 20 youths gathered and behaved indecently with her while she was returning from the landslide site. “They were not in a normal condition. Some of them were under the influence of weed and others were drunk,” she said.
She also mentioned finding a video of the incident on social media, uploaded by one of the perpetrators. “When I checked the profile of the person who had uploaded the video, I found that it was the same individual who abused me. He was a person associated with a youth wing of a national party, and held a responsible position,” she said.
