A woman from South America recently alleged that she was harassed by a policeman during her stay in Mumbai. The young woman was stranded in the city, as she could not return to her country because of the lockdown. She detailed her complaint to top cops in an email statement saying that a cop who was supposed to help her made sexual advances and tried to take advantage of her vulnerable state.

While there is an investigation going on, the report, which appeared across various media platforms should alert us to other foreign nationals who may face some kind of harassment, given their disadvantaged state because of the lockdown.
