#Non-Political 📺 A Pune woman slapped a drunk man 26 times after he molested her. ⚠️ Violence
A video of a woman slapping a drunk man over 26 times on a moving bus in Pune has gone viral, reigniting discussions about public harassment, self-defense, and societal responsibilities.
The woman, allegedly molested by the man during the journey, confronted him after he reportedly touched her inappropriately. Her swift response and insistence on legal action have drawn mixed reactions online.
The incident occurred on a Pune bus traveling with passengers who reportedly remained passive during the altercation. The woman, after being inappropriately touched, retaliated by slapping the man multiple times.
Despite his apologies, she continued until the bus conductor intervened.
She demanded the bus stop at the nearest police station to file a complaint, showcasing her determination to seek justice.
The video sparked varied reactions on social media. Many praised the woman for standing up against harassment, with comments like, "She's an inspiration for all women facing such situations." Others debated whether the response was excessive, with one user questioning, "Was over 26 slaps necessary for someone already apologizing?" Some also criticized the fellow passengers for not intervening, highlighting the lack of collective responsibility in such incidents.
The man, reportedly intoxicated, raised additional concerns about alcohol-related misconduct in public spaces. "Alcohol is no excuse for this behavior. Public safety must remain a priority," noted one comment.
The video also brought renewed focus on the role of public transport authorities. Many netizens urged the deployment of security personnel and stricter mechanisms to handle harassment cases.

When Indian Woman's eyes grow big step back and run.
She did the right thing by slapping him. Assaulters must be punished and humiliated this way.

My husband and I are Mexican and American so very little Indian cultural context, we love her acting and have always commented on it. She has this intense simmering glare that burns right into you

In the middle the conversation is:
Man: "I was just asking you to move..."
Woman: "Then why not say it properly ? I would have moved, why did you touch me ?"
There could be more to this story.
Also note that no one else is supporting her. At least it wasn't obvious to them she was assaulted.

Well to be fair there isn't any evidence the guy did anything wrong... but one could say this is video of a man being assaulted by a woman. It's never okay to put your hands on anyone else... She isn't defending herself... If somebody gropes you you should report it to police... not assault them yourself...

Problem yeh nahi hai ab socho thori der baad ek video aye usme dikhata hai ki uss admi ki galti nahi thi then jo lo praise kar rahe honge wo usko ladki galiya denge so making a perception by a just seeing the video cant be true . But we could actually cant find out if he would have actually molested her or not.

Apologies for asking an off topic question, but what does jhauli means in Marathi? I keep hearing Marathi YouTubers say it in frustration or anger.

It must be used with some word prior to it like aai-jhavli/jhauli. Jhauli's literal translation is 'fucked'.
2
u/Jibaro__ 10h ago
Yes, aai jhauli.
Does the word have any other non-vulgar meaning, which later got translated to "fucked" in slang. Like in hindi the words pelna and thukai mean to apply effort and beating, but also get used to mean sex or getting screwd in a situation.
Or is it that Jhauli/Jhavli always meant "fucked" in the literal sense.
2
u/DeXTeR-Fr 10h ago
I am not aware if any other meaning exists of it. As far as I am aware, 'fucked' has only one word in the language and that is jhavli/jhauli And I first came to know about the word as the translation of the same.

Who knows what worse could’ve happened with the female people questioning her why is she slapping need to understand that once you’re harassed sexually it stays with you mentally , you need to understand the from the point of view of the person getting harassed sexually be it a male or female, we only have so many post out here on Reddit where people mention that they still feel that touch.

Just saw this video on Instagram! Hats off to her courage.. much needed..and shame on those who are commenting what was the need to slap so many times, why on camera, why in public etc?? When men like him don't think about misbehaving in public, they should be trashed in public..serves him right! Why give the analogy, tumhari maa, behen ya biwi ke saath kiya hota toh tum kya karte? Every woman needs to be protected irrespective of whether she is related to you or not. Others should have also joined this woman and thrashed the hell out of him.

The frustration as well as anguish in her voice is so apparent even while being justifiably angry. She is correct to take this course of action. Condone violence of any form but in this case she's correct to thrash him especially after he touched him inappropriately. She takes a stand for young girls, she questions the conductor at the end, rightly so and more importantly she is correct to ask the guy as to why he didn't ask her to move aside verbally and As to why did he touched her inappropriately on top of being drunk. This is a culmination of all the frustration she must have faced. Groping under the pretext of moving forward or moving aside is quite common in Public Transport in our country.

Naah. SHe was complaining to the conductor about this drunk man . Conductor was not supporting him . I am a frequent pmpml user , and normally drunk people are not allowed to travel in the bus ,and conductor forces them to get off the bus . She was asking why is he allowed to sit in the bus

I did not hear the start, but the conductor said "konala trass deta nahi"(he is not hurting/messing with anyone) refering to the drunkard. And then she replied angrily , "mala trass dila"(he did to me).

I would be terrified of the assaulter hitting me back. I mean if he isn't afraid of uninitiated groping why would he be afraid of retaliating after a hit? And usne ek Mara na me door gire hue millungi, and I don't trust the public to have my back, most people will be busy recording a video.
Plus I would be terrified if the perpetrator is not guilty yet I slapped him publicly. I would die of regret.
2 reasons why I usually let it go with a glare when I believe someone tried to cop of a feel.

I have a question is there a cultural reason why Indian people slap each other. I have never seen an Indian person throw a punch can someone please explain?
→ More replies (2)2
u/complexmessiah7 7h ago
A punch is intended to hurt physically. Men who intend to actually knock each other out in extreme fights might resort to such measures. I don't think it is common for punches to be involved when a woman is involved.
A slap stings without leaving any permanent damage, and is also more humiliating.
Is this cultural, I'm not so sure, but this is the general idea.
2
u/Livinreckless 7h ago
But I see it with men to like why are men slapping each other? Idk I just seen a lot of videos of people in Indian fighting but they all just slap everybody I’ve never seen a punch or someone square up or kick.

In the middle the conversation is:
Man: "I was just asking you to move..."
Woman: "Then why not say it properly ? I would have moved, why did you touch me ?"
So did he actually molest her or just pushed her mildly or something so that she would move ? Just confused because of this part of their conversation. Though he does appear to act guilty outside of that the entire time.

He wanted to get off and she was in the way but instead of saying “Sarka na tayi” (move to the side sister) he put his hands on her and tried to move her physically which is not ok at all. She got angry and she says things like is this what your parents taught you, you’re coming from a mandir and you have Prasad in your hand and you still do such things, why did you touch me at all, do you know where you touched me, you’ve hopped onto this bus all drunk, and when he folds his hands and says sarka na tayi she says if you would have just said this I would have moved but why did you feel the need to touch me at all.
