As per reports, the incident took place on 25th October when she went to a shop to buy a pair of earphones from the shopkeeper.

“I went to his house from where he runs his shop, to buy a pair of earphones. I was shocked to see him yelling at me, rebuking me. At first I was not able to comprehend what was the issue. He then lashed out at me and said that I shouldn’t be wearing jeans.” the girl narrated.

“I wear all kinds of clothes including Salawar kameez, jeans, dresses etc. I am not saying that wearing a burkha or hijab is something bad yet he has no right to enforce anything on me”, she added.

“My clothes do not define my character”, she added.

The shopkeeper in his late 60s known as Nurul Amin went on to call her ‘prostitute’ for the choice of clothes.

The girl then informed about the incident to her family members who then reached the shopk and an argument broke out between the two parties. The shopkeeper and his sons then brutally thrashed the girl’s father.

The girl stated that she was shocked to see the man reacting to her dress and how violent he went when his parents reached the shop to question him on behavior.
