The woman who allegedly told a bunch of young girls in Gurugram that they “deserve to get raped” because of the length of their dresses has tendered an apology.
In a Facebook post written on Wednesday night, 1 May, the woman said, “I extend an unconditional apology to all the girls. In hindsight, I realise, I was harsh and incorrect in my statement.”
She also added that she was “concerned” for the girls but should have offered her opinion in private.
“I was concerned, however, I realise that I should have been protective and progressive in my outlook and not conservative and regressive. As a wife, sister and a mother and more importantly as a woman, I value ever woman’s dignity (sic).”The woman wrote in a Facebook post
On Tuesday, 30 April, Shivani Gupta posted a video of this woman on IGTV where Gupta and her friends can be seen seeking an apology from her for her comments. However, the woman at that time refused to apologise.
