When she failed to catch hold of the man, she headed straight to the police station, where she faced worse. She has further written about how the police didn't file an FIR for the longest time.
She reveals that she went to the spot with the police late at night and found the alleged accused right there, but he was not arrested. She also explained the lack of facilities at the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) where she was taken for a medical check-up, something that she was told was a necessity before an FIR was filed.
She has ended her post by saying that she kept her calm and didn't break down even once throughout the whole ordeal and could not imagine what women who break down must be going through in such situations.
