This is not the way, this is not a girl should be made to feel because this is terrible. Is this how they are doing to take care of girls? No one will help us if we don't decide to help ourselves.

Zaira Wasim said I tried to click the photo of the man from my mobile camera, but couldn't get a clear shot due to low lights.

"Managed to get this (shot of the molester's foot). The lights were dimmed so it was even worse.He continued for another 10 minutes and then I was quite sure of it. That man keep on nudging my shoulder and continued to move his foot up and down my back and neck," she posted, also slamming the airline saying, "Slow claps for Vistara's crew guys! Wonderful!" she wrote.
