“Bike no. TS 13 ES 1865 @CPHydCity @hydcitypolice These 3 pieces of shit were following the girls in front of them and touching them with the peacock feather till I pulled down the window & yelled at them. Would’ve chased them further but the car in front of me didn’t give way.”
Sharing his helplessness and anger he further wrote,
“There is NOTHING more infuriating than watching this. I just reached home and I’m still shivering due to the adrenaline. 10000% sure I would’ve done something unlawful if my wife wasn’t with me.”
He went on to tag Hyderabad police and state leaders, adding,
“Please do something, do not let this beautiful city rot. @revanth_anumula @KTRBRS don’t really care who can really help as long as this shit gets taken care of in the city. It could’ve been my wife, my friends, my office employees. It’s shameful I couldn’t do anything beyond yelling at them.”
Startled by being confronted, the three men pretended ignorance before speeding away.
