Kerala Viral Video: She was just another young woman on her way somewhere in Kattakada, a town in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram district, until her bus ride turned into a moment of courage that’s now being praised across social media. In the viral video, a man sitting near her can be seen behaving inappropriately; instead of ignoring it like most would, she decided to act. At first, the man tried to take advantage of the bus’s movement, pretending that his actions were accidental.

But the woman quickly realised what was happening. Thinking fast, she quietly took out her phone and started recording the scene. Moments later, she turned around and confronted him. The video shows her slapping and hitting him several times while exposing his face to the camera. Her anger and bravery were clear; she refused to stay silent.

Shockingly, while the incident unfolded, none of the other passengers moved or tried to help. The only person who stepped forward was the bus conductor, who rushed to her side after she told him, “He molested me.” It’s still not known whether any action was taken against the accused or if a complaint was filed.

"How have we reached this stage where the survivor had to record the actual act of getting groped before she raised an alarm? The sheer strength she showed to not react immediately, just so that people could believe her. And then we have idiots in the comments asking why," added a fourth user. "his guy needs to be sterilized & his picture should be on every police station as a sexual predator," a fifth user added.
