Observing that uploading videos on TikTok and living a “modern and stylish life” cannot be the reasons to blame someone for being sexually harassed, a special court on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of an employee of a fashion designer arrested for allegedly molesting his 17-year-old assistant.

As per a report in The Indian Express, among the submissions made before the special court by the 37-year-old accused was that the minor followed a “modern lifestyle” and worked as an actor on social media platform TikTok. Denying that the alleged incident of sexual harassment took place, the accused’s lawyer showed the court dance videos uploaded by the minor, as a ground for seeking bail.
