Punjab News: An NRI woman, Harjinder Kaur Mangat, once again proved that women are not weak. On Friday night, she drew her sword and challenged the bike-borne robbers, who were pursuing her with the intention of robbery, along the canal road in Rajgarh village. They fled the scene after seeing Harjinder holding a sword, challenging them.
As soon as the video of the incident went viral on social media, it became a topic of discussion throughout the area. Harjinder Kaur Mangat, who had returned to her native village, Rajgarh, from Australia just 15 days ago, was travelling to a relative's house in Dehlon, Ludhiana, with her mother-in-law and aunt. The car was going along the deserted canal road when she realised a motorcyclist was constantly following them.
At first, assuming it was a normal situation, she gave way to the biker, but the two men began to deliberately move in front of and behind the car, sometimes making suspicious movements. Sensing danger, her aunt, as a precaution, started filming the situation on her mobile phone.
