Naina Singh is an advertising professional and has to stay back in office more often as the real work starts post 6 pm in a lot of agencies.
She often travels late and always keeps a pepper spray in her bag as the lane in which her ad agency is located is quite isolated and getting a cab is not easy.
Last Wednesday, she was chased by a few goons in the same lane while she was walking down the lane looking for a cab.
At first, she thought of pulling out the pepper spray in her bag but did not as there were 5 to 6 men following her.
Adding to her agony, there was a cab strike last Wednesday and therefore she had to walk fast for quite some time till she approached a busy lane.
