Walking in broad daylight also seems to have become unsafe for women, as a 28-year-old senior researcher found out at Carter Road on Friday. She was on her usual morning walk, when she was pulled into the bushes and allegedly molested by a drunk man. The researcher screamed for help, but passers-by on the track looked at her and pretended to not hear her. She somehow managed to escape from the drunkard's grasp and approach the Khar police, who later registered a complaint against the intoxicated accused, and arrested him within half an hour.
The Khar west resident was out on a walk at Carter Road at 6:30 am with her brother. She was walking behind him as she couldn't keep up with his pace because she is asthmatic. When she neared the dog park, she saw a man who looked intoxicated wonkily walking ahead of her. She politely asked him to walk on one side, but the man looked at her angrily and continued to walk in the same manner. He also kept turning to look at her.
