Undercover - How a foreign tourist is sexually harassed in Delhi:"I have a big xxxx... let me drop you to your stop."(NDtv).Since last month's brutal gang-rape of a young student on a moving bus in Delhi, the government and the police have begun implementing pieces of a repair manual to make the city safer. Buses and the metro will be manned by policemen and women in plain clothes. More police vans will patrol the roads at night. A helpline -181- has been launched for women in distress, with mixed results. Often, calls are about property disputes. And sometimes, those who call can't reach anyone, or are transferred to a police station. Not exactly the quick-fix it was designed to be.
You Mi Nam, 22, isn't aware of much of this. She is in Delhi from Korea, and hopes the holiday will help her gauge if India is where she should enroll for a course in media studies.
Nam agreed to film on hidden camera her experience of a night out in Delhi. We followed her so that we could intervene if needed.
She began by waiting at a bus stop in South Delhi at 9.15 pm.
Within minutes, two cars slowed down in front of Nam at the bus stop. Each waited for a minute before driving off. The presence of a police picket just around the corner perhaps deterred them from making any further advances. 15 minutes later, a young man who had been standing at the bus stop, began pacing in front of her before turning to her. "You make me happy, I make you happy," he said.
Understandably, Nam had no idea what he was talking about. "What?" she asked. He responded by asking if she speaks Hindi, or belongs to Nagaland. "No," she said, "I am Korean." The man then said to her, "I have a big xxxx... let me drop you to your stop." Read the full story here.
