Here's What The Woman Claimed In The Video
Narrating the incident that occurred with her, the woman, identified as Anwesa Dey by her Instagram profile, said in the video that she was "sexually assaulted two days ago in Noida Sector-49."
"I was at a park near my house as I wanted to enjoy in the rain. A stranger came, groped me, and then went on to him ripping my bottom shorts. He wanted to go for more obviously...but two girls came in between after which he had to run away," she said.
"It was such a scary moment for me because I don't know what would have happened to me...I went to the police station but they were of no help as they have better cases to deal with. They didn't file an FIR," the woman claimed in the video.
She further alleged that the police's reaction suggested that it was her fault as to why she was out there at that time in the rain.
"It was 7:30, there were people around, and still this happened. Then we came to check the CCTV of the society... People don't have any password. It's a gated society and it's supposed to be safe but most of the security cameras are not working and there is no electricity. So there is no footage and people don't even have a password. They don't know how to access the footages..." the woman claimed.

"It was a messed up situation. I can't wrap my head around it completely," she added.
