On September 21, three men posing as police personnel gang-raped a 17-year-old minor in South Delhi’s Aastha Kunj Park. Delhi Police arrested the accused after an encounter roughly 50 metres from Lady Shri Ram College’s (LSR) back gate, and they have since been remanded to judicial custody.
In the incident’s aftermath, LSR students spoke to Newslaundry about the lack of safety around the college and the harassment they routinely face. They described regularly encountering obscene acts and lewd remarks outside the college gates, with one student recounting that men often masturbate while staring at them.
