Where there is a crowd, there is harassment, molestation, and an unsafe zone for women. Crowded places make perverts feel that whatever they do they won’t be caught. Something similar happened during the recent NorthEast United FC v/s Chennaiyin FC match. Luckily, the perverted group got captured in a video and thanks to social media platform, the video got spread all over the internet like a wildfire.
In the video, you can clearly see a group of boys harassing a Northeastern woman during the Indian Super League match that was happening at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
Take a look at the video here:
Three women sitting on the stand and a pervert man making obscene gestures towards them, while the crowd around them standing like silent spectators is a sight to bother about. Even when a man tried to intervene, the pervert didn’t stop. The video is being condemned by people largely on social media. It was first shared on a Facebook page called Indian Football Team For World CU.
Soon NorthEast United FC shared the video making it clear that they are in full support of their fans.
NEUFC condemns such a behaviour against our fans in Chennai last night. We are in full support of our fans. We are with you #Highlanders https://t.co/J2hxyhsWcP

There is a need to catch these harassers to discourage others who feel that they can do anything with a woman and get away with it easily. Let’s hope these perverts get caught soon.
