So now you have to think twice before you step out in your favourite pair of jeans! For all you know you may become a victim of an acid attack.
On Tuesday, posters came up in Ranchi warning women of acid attacks if they wore jeans and tops. The posters were put up by a group called the Jharkhand Mukti Sangh. While the State Women’s Commission chief Hemlata S Mohan is angry about the issue, the police have dismissed it as the work of miscreants. We won't be surprised if the so-called miscreants believe wearing jeans is an act of ‘provocation’.
Here's a look at some of the reactions that poured in on Twitter!
@inkdip If I were a girl and liked to wear jeans pants and no dupatta in Ranchi, wouldn't I feel threatened by this Caution Note? I would.
@newslaundry Maybe moral policing should be our national sport. Posters go up in Jharkhand threatening acid attack on women wearing jeans.
