Vasanth Paul, a model by profession, posted on his Facebook page on Saturday morning that after watching “Kabali”, he stopped at Alandur to have a smoke. There he came across the alleged crime. “I tried walking away but instantly heard a faint drugged cry saying ‘bachao.. please help... anna.. anna.. anna..’ I immediately shouted out angrily and jumped in hoping a passerby would hear and join to help... There were 3guys, none of them from the south,” he posted on Facebook.
In the post, he claimed that when he tried to save the girl, he was strangled with a thick jute rope by one of the three men. An autorickshaw driver came to the rescue of the woman and hit the three men, he added.
His post further claimed, the culprits ran away and a police complaint was not filed as per the woman’s request.
Since then, Vasanth’s post is receiving praise and going viral on social media.
At the end of his Facebook post, he writes, “Don’t be afraid to face a situation, just because you’re alone. If the cause is right, the world would join you right away”.
