New Delhi: Despite several corrective steps taken by the state government, women's safety in Delhi remains a major concern even today.
Megha, a BITS Pilani student, recently took to Twitter to share her harrowing experience after she was followed by a man at a Delhi metro station in a series of tweets.
Check out her tweets to know how the girl tackled the situation and what she ultimately did to the man who followed her on her way back home at the Golf Course Metro station.
Hey ladies, you're not safe at ALL in a metro or metro stations. I'll tell you how.

A man followed me in the metro today. Mind you, 20 mins back. That is 8 pm. On a Sunday. Pretty normal right?

Stood near me in the metro on my route. Seemed pretty normal. A LOT of people take the same route. It's not fair to pin point anyone.

Got off at the Golt Course metro station. Stood nearby, while pretending to talk on the phone with somebody. I was waiting for parents.

Tried to listen to my conversations with father to know where I was going. I sensed something was fishy and immidiately put on earphones
— Megha (@Omeghaa_) May 28, 2017
And started talking silently in the mic. He starts circling me. I see my father arrive and I start walking down. Mind you, no security.

I still don't try to be unfair and test waters by stopping regularly at steps. He stops with me. I rush to the car and he tries to push me.

Into a shady corner at the end of the staircase. I push him away, slap him.And make a LOT of noise. I ask him to stop and so I can catch him

A security guard is happily talking to people near panwari while this happens. Nobody runs to catch him. None. Nada. Cipher.

My father sees this. Gets out of the car and runs behind the man. Everybody enjoys the show. Happily and acts surprised. Mind you: only act.

Funiest part: Guard comes to me and says 'madame hume kyu ni bataya'. After I shouted my guts out. The audacity.

You losers, when somebody attacks you: you can't think. I did the best I could.
Moved out of this city an year back. I thank my starts I did. This has been the first time I've taken a metro in last six months and I'm sad
— Megha (@Omeghaa_) May 28, 2017
So yes, ladies. You're not safe. Not even close. You're on your own and there are creeps ready to grope you. Police and security mean shit.
— Megha (@Omeghaa_) May 28, 2017
End note: I'm shaken. Not scared. Only and only angry. Women deserve better.
