Indian actress-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar has become a viral sensation this week for doling out swift justice after she was groped while campaigning in Bangalore.
The Indian National Congress candidate faced a torrent of jeers and what appeared to be flying vegetables as she was making her way through heaving crowds in the city in southern India on Wednesday.
During the commotion a man twice grabbed her from behind and without a moment’s hesitation she turned to face down her would be harasser and slapped him full force in the face.
“He groped me once and I turned around and started walking. He groped me for the second time. That's when I turned and slapped him,” Sundar told The News Minute. Clips of the incident have gone viral on social media and Sundar has been hailed as a hero and an inspiration to women across India.
Reaction to the incident hasn’t been universally positive, but she has faced down detractors and taunts with some fiery ripostes.
No police complaint was lodged over the groping incident, hence no action was taken by authorities beyond giving a warning to the individual involved.
