Samyuktha Hegde of Roadies fame gets assaulted for wearing a sports bra during workout

Only recently, Roadies fame Samyuktha Hegde took to her Instagram to inform her followers that she was assaulted by a political leader of Congress, Kavita Reddy for wearing a sports bra in public. She was out with her friends for a workout session when the said political personality charged towards her to slap her. She posted a series of videos and wrote a long note to address the issue. The incident took place in Bangalore.

She wrote, “Video 1 and 2, you can see the lady clearly (kavitha reddy) charging at my friend and attempting to hit her. Video 3: after she tried to assault my friend, when we were waiting for the police to arrive some People in the park who knew her started supporting her and playing moral police and asking us if it is our culture to wear sports wear. Video 4: this man in the red checkered shirt and about 10 men with her arrived right before the police did and started threatening us. His name is Anil, and you can clearly hear him threatening me. In my line of work even false news is enough to destroy my career and he threatened me exactly of that and the police stood there and just watched. This is when i decided to go live and have our side of the story put out there in the open. After being in a democracy and following all the norms of social distancing, we were abused and ridiculed by Kavitha Reddy and the mob in Agara Lake for practicing our hoolahoop while wearing sportswear.”

“Despite being polite and trying to solve the problem, the lady hit my friend and used disparaging remarks about me and my friends. Was extremely disappointed with how the police who came to the location behaved , like nothing was wrong and spoke to her with respect while asked us to be quite. The cops stood there while her mob harassed us and even after requesting the police continuously, they decided to stand there and support this (proof on igtv) Yesterday was really hard and it was so disturbing to go through this When we went to the police station, everyone there already knew her and spoke to her nicely and saw us like we were wrong. The only police who spoke to us with some respect and told her she was wrong was the inspector is the hsr police station muni reddy, he asked us both to file our respective complaints and he left. We wrote the complaint and gave it to the police. The police present there refused to give us an acknowledgement for the same. Its not easy being strong around people who are trying to break you, and having to listen to so many people harass us for doing nothing. THIS IS JUST WRONG I request you all for your support ???? @blrcitypolice #thisiswrong #punishkavithareddy.”
