‘What’s your rate’?: N-E girls harassed in Delhi’s Hauz Khas, VIDEO viral; DCW calls for action

New Delhi: In Delhi’s posh Hauz Khaz village, some North-Eastern women were harassed by a group of men who reportedly asked their ‘rate’. The purported video of the incident is being widely shared on social media, igniting strong public reaction.

The incident reportedly happened a couple of days ago on July 18. A group of women were at the village for a party when a group of men approached and asked about their ‘rate for night’.

Infuriated at indecent advances, the North-Eastern women confronted the men and recorded the incident on camera. Sensing trouble, the men started apologizing and fleeing from the scene but their pervert act was already captured on camera.

A 10-minute video of the incident has been shared by an Instagram user account named Huckleberry Hangers.
