In neighboring India, a Radio Jockey (RJ) pulled a prank in a male public toilet which instantly received backlash from users who considered it went ‘too far’. Radio Mirchi RJ Mahvash pulled another prank and threw a ball in an occupied public toilet stall. She kept insisting the occupant return it and eventually fled when he came out.
The video of Radio Mirchi RJ Mahvash pulling the prank was shared by Indian Youtuber Dipanshu Joshi on Twitter.

The irritated users raised numerous questions on the act.
Completely agree! Men should be vocal about limits crossed, harassment & bullying by women. but most of the men will look at this girl in a sexual way coming to their toilet or will take it as a joke! It is the individual who needs to assert & be vocal if he felt violated or not!

They asked if it would be just considered a prank had the roles and places been swapped.
If a men goes into the girls washroom would the same happen , they would start making dharnaas, and quotations like “kill the guy who went in to the washroom”, that’s why men don’t live more than women.

Hundreds of users flooded the comment section of the tweet and remarked that the joke had surely triggered a spark if performed by males on women.
I think both the genders together have to solve this issue because all of us want to feel comfortable and safe. And obviously without any doubt the prank was pathetic.
