"Tonight, my cousin and I were walking to our car at around 11.30 pm when a man started following us. While following us, he was openly touching himself. We noticed it immediately and called him out, but he still didn't stop. He continued until we got into our car," she wrote on her Instagram Story.
The actor, in her social media post, said that no woman should have to face harassment simply "because she's walking at night".
She concluded her Instagram Story asking a pertinent question to Bengaluru Police and tagged them.
"Where is the safety we keep being promised?" the actor concluded.
She also captured the incident on camera, the video of which she shared on her Instagram Story which is no longer visible.
According to the clip, Divya Suresh says she is making a video. Meanwhile, her cousin points out to the man following them, asking her to "look at his hand over there".
"He followed us as soon as we got into the car," the actor says, while her cousin asks her to call the police.
