In the video, the bus seems empty, which might have given him the chance to get away while doing this horrendous act.
Similar Incidents
A similar incident was reported a few days ago by a girl who witnessed a man on the bike. While the man engaged in similar activity, he felt no remorse and shame while following a car. Coming across these incidents shows that women in this society are not safe, and men make it even more difficult for them by acclaiming the public spaces.
The Reason Behind Such Acts
While the reason behind such sexually demeaning activity remains a mystery, however, according to psychologists, it is an “exhibitionist disorder.“
According to Psychologists formulate, this act is a vengeful act. “Jilted lovers seeking revenge seem to find pleasure forcefully masturbating in front of them. Moreover, the look of fear and humiliation on the women’s faces appeals to them.”
