Varnika Kundu said she was chased and almost kidnapped by two men while driving home in New Delhi after midnight on Saturday. Ramveer Bhatti, the area vice-president of the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP), said the incident would not have happened had Kundu not been out late. His comments have sparked a strong response from women on Twitter, who have been posting pictures of themselves out after midnight under the hashtag #AintNoCinderella. Speaking to NDTV, Kundu and her father rejected criticism of her decision to be out late at night alone. “What I do and where I go and at what time I do it is my business.”
