The rampant rape cases in the national capital have become a matter of concern for all the girls, but this Delhi girl took out a smart way to escape her harasser.

A 17-year-old girl from Delhi pretended to be possessed by an evil spirit when two men tried to rape her. The girl acted as if she was a ghost when the men grabbed her and attempted to assault her sexually.

The incident, that allegedly took place on May 8 in the Punjabi Bagh West area, came to light after victim’s friend shared a post on Facebook.

The post went viral in no time with many lauding the girl for her smart move while some calling it a fake story.

Here is the post by Khyati Khandelwal, friend of victim girl:

“Last night, one of my extremely close friends had gone to the market at around 10pm in Delhi. On her way, two uncouth men began to follow her. By their looks and behavior she knew something is not right. They followed her for about 5 minutes and then they grabbed her by her waist and pulled her away and at that hour, there was nobody around in the street.

Now this is a situation in which most of us would start screaming at the top of our voices for help but instead, she made the smartest move, she did something that probably wouldn’t occur to any of our minds specially in such a situation.

She acted as if she was a ghost and started speaking in a paranormal way, she would laugh hard at times, and the next moment just stare at the men’s faces. (Very fortunately, she had left her house with open, unkept hair).

Looking at this, one of the two got extremely scared and resorted to run, while the other one was determined that there is nothing to worry about.

Now in this situation, she really didn’t know what to do anymore. Without thinking, she scratched the guy’s hand so that it would bleed and began to rub his blood on her face while laughing as loud and evil as she could.

As gross as it sounds, it worked and the second man too, got completely scared and left her, running away, too.

She is a seventeen year old friend of mine who didn’t want her name to be revealed. But when I heard about this from her, I was so moved by the witty escape she made, that I couldn’t help but post about this.

To everyone out there, be safe. And if you can’t be safe, be smart like her.”
