Khan started off her post by writing, "I was afraid to share this because it might hurt your religious sentiments." She then narrated how she was sexually harassed several times while performing tawaf.

Khan said she first felt a hand on her waist but brushed it off as an innocent mistake. However, the touching persisted and she was very uncomfortable.

"During my sixth tawaf, I suddenly felt something aggressively poking my butt, I froze, unsure of whether it was intentional.

I ignored [it] and just kept moving slowly because the crowd was huge," she wrote.

Khan explained that she could not turn around because of the huge crowd.

"When I reached the Yemeni corner, someone tried to grab and pinch my butt," she added.



In response, she stopped moving, grabbed the harasser's hand and yanked it off her body.

"I was literally petrified. [I] couldn't even escape, so I stood, and turned around as much as I could, to see what's happening, I turned around but... couldn't see who it was," Khan explained.
