"Be safe. And if you can't be safe, be smart," says Delhi girl Khyati Khandelwal on Facebook in a post which has gone viral on social media. It details the unusual way her 17-year-old friend allegedly escaped an uncomfortable and dangerous situation.In her original post, now unavailable but reposted on various social networking sites, Ms Khandelwal explained how her friend allegedly pretended to be possessed after two men grabbed her in a relatively secluded part of Punjabi Bagh on May 8."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)," read Ms Khandelwal's original post.The unnamed friend's tactic apparently worked and made one man run away. The other seemed a tougher nut to crack so the 17-year-old put on a more dramatic performance. "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," Ms Khandelwal wrote on Facebook. "As gross as it sounds, it worked and the second man too, got completely scared and left her, running away, too," she added.Several people on social media have praised the young woman, calling her brave.
