A few others called for punishments for the men who behave in this manner.

Such rascals must be punished. They are as bad for our festivals as those who verbally abuse them quite religiously.

Some women shared their fear of stepping out of their homes because of such incidents.

I remember not going out of my house on Holi when I was in India just because of these reasons.
I used to play in my backyard with cousins.

अपने घर की औरतों के साथ ऐसा हो जाए तो नैतिकता और धर्म के सबसे बड़े ठेकेदार यही लोग हो जाएंगे! निर्लज्ज लोग!

Yahi wo log hain jo thode dino pehle happy women's day ki wishes send karte hue thakte bhi nhi the. Yahi wo log hain jo India ki kami nikalte hue kehte hain ki yaha ye kami hai wo kami hai. jis din khud ke gireban me jhank kar dekh lein na us din sharm ke maare doob marenge sab..
