The Bengaluru mass molestation case has left the nation feeling disgusted about the way women are being treated in the country. When a bunch of men can have the audacity to molest women in a public gathering, you know there is something very wrong with the way they have been brought up.
A lot of Indian sportspersons took to twitter to express how deeply disgusted they felt with the entire nation, and how the defaulters must be seriously prosecuted.

Extremely disappointed & hurt at the Bengaluru #MassMolestation.
Someone's Dress is not a Yes.

Jwala Gutta retweeted Farhan Akhtar’s tweet
This is not molestation. It's gender terrorism.. empowered by the misogynistic mentality of powers-that-be. #wakeuphttps://t.co/lMImPbqejA

It is heartening to see these real life heroes take to social media and express grave concerns about something that affects every one of us. In a country where sporting heroes are worshipped, we are sure that the message that they put across will have some bearing on the people who indulge in such filthy practices.
