Upon being asked why no one helped her, to which she revealed, “People who were saving me were the ones harassing me. If one man was covering me, another would snatch that cover away.”
“I was almost suffocated to death lying on the ground, thirsty and hopeless, that’s when a boy came running and tried to feed me water but I could not,” she added. Ayesha also demanded that if law and order cannot do anything then public places should be banned on such auspicious occasions or should only be allowed for families.
