In a shameful incident, “semen-filled” balloon was allegedly thrown at a Delhi University student. The girl wrote a post on the social media claiming that a group of unidentified men allegedly threw a “semen-filled” balloon at her recently.

There has been no official complaint yet in the matter. However, police is trying to get in touch with the girl so that an investigation can take place.

The girl, who is from the northeast, took to Instagram on 24 February and wrote, “I went out with a friend for lunch to a cafe in Amar Colony Market. At around five when heading back in a rickshaw there came flying my way a liquid-filled balloon hitting me in the hip where it burst open, its content seeping into my dress. It dried white on my black leggings… I did not guess what it really was. Only when I returned to my hostel to hear another friend of mine talking about semen-flinging,” adding that “Not a single person in that busy market batted a single eyelid at the sight of men throwing such balloons.”

“Ever since in moved to this city seven months ago, I ‘ve been bumped by more than once by men. All accidentally of course. Hands have patted on me inappropriately,” the girl wrote.

The Delhi University had on Monday announced elaborate internal and external security arrangements on campus, hostels and other colleges to counter any possible threat under the garb of Holi celebrations.
