Sowpika also addressed potential criticism over her clothing, stating that she was dressed in formal attire and was fully covered when the alleged incident took place.
"And before you all come at me, what I'm wearing? Full formals. There's no skin show at all. Full fledge. I'm covered top to bottom. And this man. I caught him red-handed in metro, recording me," she said.
According to her account, the man attempted to leave when the train reached a station. She alleged that she followed him, took his phone and handed it to security personnel, but the man subsequently took it back and left.
"I caught his phone. What he did? He exited. He ran from the metro when the stop came. He took my bag and ran. So I had to go behind him. I still caught him," she said.
She further claimed that she approached security personnel and tried to get the man to show her his phone, but he refused to cooperate.
