Perversion hit a new low in the national capital on February 24 when a group of unidentifi­ed men allegedly threw a “semen- filled” balloon at a student of Delhi University recently.

The police said the incident has come to their knowledge and they are trying to contact the girl so that an investigat­ion can take place.

“We have not received any complaint regarding this yet,” a senior police official said.

The incident came to light when the girl, who is from Northeast, took to Instagram and shared the incident. She claimed in a social media post that a group of unidentifi­ed men allegedly threw a “semen filled” balloon at her recently.

In her Instagram post on February 24, the girl said: “I went out with a friend for lunch at a cafe in Amar Colony market. At around 5 pm, when heading back in a rickshaw, there came flying my way a liquid filled balloon. It hit me on the hip where it burst open, its content seeping into my dress.

“It dried white on my black leggings. I did not guess what it really was. Only when I returned to my hostel did I hear another friend of mine talking about semen flinging,” she said.

“Not a single person in that busy market batted a single eyelid at the sight of men throwing such balloons,” she said.

The student recalled the ordeal she underwent and said, “Ever since I moved to this city seven months ago, I’ve been bumped by more than once by men.”

All accidental­ly, of course. Hands have patted me inappropri­ately,” she said, adding that she has also been called derogatory names.

On Monday, the Delhi University announced elaborate internal and external security arrangemen­ts on campus, hostels, and other colleges to counter any possible threat under the garb of Holi celebratio­ns.
