Then, the man smashed her car's right side window, causing injuries to her hand and leaving her visibly shaken. "As I refused to come out fearing for my safety, the man banged against the glass on my right side window and broke it into pieces, injuring my hand…I don't know where we stand now. If a woman can be accosted and heckled in such a way in a crowded street in the evening, that exemplifies the real situation. And this happens amid rallies taken out all over the city on the issue of women's safety..I shudder to think what would have happened to me had this incident taken place in a deserted spot," said Payel Mukherjee.
