In a new low for the city, some girl students have come forward to complain about ‘semen-filled’ balloons being thrown at them.

Just a few days ago, a student from the Lady Sri Ram College had written a post on the social media claiming that a group of unidentified men allegedly threw a “semen-filled” balloon at her recently and now a new case has come to light.

A student of the Delhi University’s Jesus and Mary College took to Facebook and informed about her ordeal. In her post, the girl said that a group of guys hit her with the alleged ‘semen-filled’ balloons when she was travelling by a bus.

In a bid to protest against assault that takes place in the name of Holi, the students and teachers of the university gathered outside the Delhi Police Headquarters to demand security for women students.

Here is the post:

So the festival of ‘fun’ is here! Time for colours, eggs, dirty water and oh how can I forget the most important one- SEMEN.

It was just another usual day of travelling back home from college..

The bus stopped a little after Sagarpur bus stop. And that’s when it happened.

Before I even realised it, a guy threw a balloon filled with semen straight at my chest. For a few minutes I was just shocked and by the time I recovered from it, he and his friends were gone. I was DISGUSTED and really furious. And that’s when a lady sitting in front of me said, “Beta, Bura mat mano holi hai” And the others in the bus laughed and said the same to me. I didn’t know whom to be more disgusted on- the idiot who threw it or the crowd who normalised it.

Till yesterday, I had just heard about semen throwing at girls and my heart was broken to hear it.

Today I was the victim to it and that was when I wholly realized and understood the absolute depravity of human beings.

I would have said humans behave like animals but then that’s a disgrace to animals in itself.

Yesterday, it was a girl from LSR, Today it was me, and there are plenty of girls with whom this is happening, who are just too afraid or embarrassed to speak up. And I don’t blame them but then if we don’t speak up now, these fools roaming around our country will continue doing the same and God forbid another innocent girl might get targetted.

And to all the girls out there,

Do not be afraid to speak up when such things happen to you. Your dignity and self Respect is important and not something to be fooled around with.

Be bold and take a stand, rest assured there are many like me who will have your back.”
