As the country fights the second wave of COVID-19, cases of inhuman behaviour, harassment, and sexual abuse are on the rise.

In one such shocking incident, a Twitter user revealed that one of the girls who she knew was asked to offer sex in return for an oxygen cylinder that she needed for her father.

She wrote, “My friend’s sister like my baby sister was asked by a neighbour in an elite colony to sleep with him for an oxygen cylinder that she desperately needed for her father; What action can be taken because the b* will obviously deny, no?”

Below is how netizens responded:

Rather than publisizing it on social media you should have filed a police complain or sought help from police emergency numbers. Why did you even need to put on social media. Surely ppl in your circle will make out its about whom. Embarrassing for her.

This was a brave step though! That girl out there, did nothing so technically there's nothing that she will be embarrassed for.
That guy needs to be exposed and yes! made famous too!!

The poor girl! And no, no action can be taken. Because not only will he deny it, this is something that plays out every day. Only difference is that the girl is from a priviledged background.

In Bihar even Doctors,ward boys are molesting,asking women members of the patients' family for sexual fav.And helpless women are doing it.
Such a sad state!
When I put myself in their shoes,I shudder and think what would I do in that situation?Maybe allow them to exploit…
