A second video, also filmed by the girl of her alleged harasser, has been uploaded by Buzz Laundry. It can be viewed at the end of this post.
On Jan. 31, YouTube user Shreyas Rao uploaded a video of a man being videotaped and berated by a girl from behind the camera on an Indigo flight to Bhubaneswar, India.
As the video focuses on the alleged harasser, the girl filming the video speaks to him in Hinglish. Here's a transcript, translated into English by BuzzFeed India:
Girl: "You're asking for forgiveness. Why? Because I'm a girl? And you have the right to touch me any time, anywhere you want to?"
Man: "I'm asking for forgiveness."
Girl: "What forgiveness are you asking for? Did you do it only once? Was it by mistake? Look at how old you are. Old moron. Half way into your grave and still not wise enough. Say more? Say more, come on. I'm videotaping you, mister! If you ever do this again, you'll remember this episode. You think us girls stay silent and you can do anything, right? Look here. Why are you so bashful now? I will call security. I'll make sure I make a complaint."
Man: "I'm sorry about it. Please, stop it."
Girl: "Why? Why, please? I'm sorry, please. I'm sorry that I'm a girl! Please, forgive me, for I dare to travel alone as a woman. I'm so sorry for that! I will not leave you. Don't think [sic]."
Man: [unintelligible]
Girl: "Yes, I have purposefully done that. You thought you could do it again, right? You were touching me here again the second time. You thought I didn't know what was going on and I would stay quiet, right? Only us girls are expected to have shame. You have a right to be shameless."
The video was forwarded to the uploader by the victim. In the video description, he writes:
This is a forward by this brave girl of what happened in the indigo flight yesterday with her! "This man on the seat behind mine, put his fingers in the seat gap to touch me!!! I was very shocked for sometime to react. By then the flight went to landing mode. Then the moment flight touched down, i got up. Saw his hand was again on the side ready to take up any opportunity to touch me!!! I created such a scene, humiliated him in front of the whole flight! He thought like usual girls will keep quiet and he can get away with this! I have lodged an FIR now! He is a very rich man of bhubaneswar and is now very humiliated in front of the people who know him. Cant believe the ordeal i had to go thru but being silent is a crime! The police officer was very helpful and the Indigo staff remained with me throughout."
“I clicked his pictures and made videos," the victim further said, according to the uploader. "I shouted so loud that the entire plane came forward to see him! I made sure I humiliate him as much as possible because I know law will do nothing.”
