Cases of women assault and crime have risen over the years. Recently, in the silicon valley of India, South actress Samyuktha Hegde, who went with two of her friends to a park next to the Agara Lake in HSR Layout in Bengaluru alleged that she was ridiculed by Congress leader Kavitha Reddy for wearing a sports bra in a public. Hegde recorded the entire incident and live-streamed it on Instagram, adding that the witnesses who watched blamed her of being on drugs because she was an actor.

Reddy, a member of AICC and spokesperson for Karnataka Congress called the cops and along with the crowd said that the women should be booked for public indecency. “This is so wrong. I had my pullover on. We came here and I removed it and did my warmup. We were just exercising with hoops and this woman (referring to Kavitha Reddy) came up to us and started saying that we were being indecent for wearing a sports bra in a public place. We were just exercising by ourselves. Now the people here are saying that we consume drugs. Just because the drug case is being talked about, they are accusing us of consuming drugs,” Hegde said in her video as she broke down in tears.

As per the details given by a leading daily, the police asked Hegde to leave the park, but the crowd locked the main gate and seconded Reddy stating that a complaint should be filed. However, there were some who stood in support of the actress stating that if they are to be detained for wearing fewer clothes, the men wearing shorts should also be asked to leave. Meanwhile, the police, who came to diffuse the situation, maintained that Samyuktha did nothing wrong and let them off.
