Be it a celebrity or a commoner, most of us one way or the other become a victim of harassment. In one such shocking incident on Monday afternoon, popular actress turned MP - Mimi Chakraborty was allegedly harassed by a taxi driver on her way back from the gym.
She was quoted saying, “It happened around 2pm. I was alone in my car and it was raining heavily. At first, I tried to ignore and asked my driver to speed up. But he followed my car and then, near the Gariahat bridge, he again started passing lewd comments and making obscene gestures.”
“I thought I must protest, as I could feel he was drinking and driving. I realised this taxi driver was mentally not sound. So, I stopped my car and decided to teach him a lesson. But when he saw too many people starting to gather, he fled”, she said.
She continued, “Later, I lodged a complaint with Gariahat Police station and they nabbed him. He is under police custody now and will be produced at the court. Thanks to the Kolkata Police that they did what was needed. We all should protest otherwise these people will think they can get away with anything and everything.”
