The case first of all, shows that molestors are now using masturbation in public as a means to harass women. Flashing and masturbation in public places should be treated as molestation, because that is what it is. There is a tendency to brush away the complaint, because the common notion is that the victim has not been 'touched'. At times, victims are told that you should have just looked away.

We need to break away from this and treat this crime with the gravitas it warrants. In this case, the accused was nabbed because of CCTVs at CST. This shows the importance of having top-class cameras and clear discernible footage at all public infrastructure.

Second, do not let perverts get away with these crimes. Name them and shame them on social media if possible, but also try to ensure that the long arm of the law catches up with them. Action should be swift and strict. No leniency should be shown to these men, who once recognised, are hopefully socially ostracised too. Stamp out this new and growing form of molestation shaming the city and the country.
