"While walking around Indiranagar, an auto driver spat on me, and it happened to be the day I wore a white shirt," Parishi tweeted.
The incident quickly garnered widespread attention, with many users expressing their disgust and urging her to take legal action against the driver.
"That's disgusting! Do you wish to file a case against the auto driver?" one user asked.
"Did you notice his number plate? Report this and police will try to recover the number from CCTV. This kind of behaviour should be punished. It might seem a long process but he won't dare to do this next to anyone," another suggested.
The incident also prompted some lighter reactions, with one user quipping, "He turned a simple white shirt into printed." Others expressed empathy, with one saying, "I couldn't imagine the disgust you felt in that moment."
This incident is not an isolated one. Just a few months ago, Rishika Gupta, a senior software engineer at LinkedIn, recounted a similar experience in Delhi. Gupta claimed that a man chewing tobacco spat on her while she was on an escalator at a metro station. She shared images of the man and her soiled jeans, highlighting the ongoing issue of public spitting and its impact on individuals.
