A Delhi court upheld the conviction of a man who masturbated next to a woman inside a Delhi Metro coach, stressing the need for stronger safety measures for women in public transport. The court said such incidents in crowded spaces cause serious psychological trauma and violate a woman’s sense of privacy and security.
The Delhi High Court gave a split verdict on jailed MP Engineer Rashid’s request asking the Centre to bear his Rs 17 lakh travel and security expenses for attending Parliament sessions. The case will now go to Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya for a final decision.
