Returning from her examination, Arora was followed by a man on a motorcycle for a couple of minutes. Despite her best attempts to avoid him, he pursued her, grabbed her bag, and started physically assaulting her.

Despite her cries for help, Arora received none, an eventually managed to fight off her attacker, who left with her bag. After her harrowing ordeal, Arora’s nightmare was far from over, as a slow and laboured response from the police, left her feeling helpless.
