Rishiraj Singh was stressing the importance of women's safety, when he said that if a man is found staring at a woman for more than 14 seconds, a case can be filed against him.
Singh's comment, although seemingly made in good spirit has not gone down well with social media users and many took to Twitter to make their displeasure known...
From now onwards, in Kerala the countdown will start from 14 and not 10 #RishiRajSingh

On the independence day, I am confused by 14 seconds rule set by Rishiraj Singh; how will I watch Olympics?

But, not all were supportive of the trolling. A Twitter user even defended Rishiraj Singh's comment
What Rishiraj Singh told students shouldn't be a subject of trolling. His message, 'girls be proactive', is clear & you should be with him.
