Woman facing charges says she wasn't actually naked in a video she shot on a holy bridge in India and was trying to draw attention to sexual harassment
Lakshman Jhula is a footbridge over the Ganges River in India, made famous by the Beatles in the 1960s. NEW DELHI, INDIA -- A French woman arrested for allegedly making a video of herself without clothes on a holy bridge in India apologized Sunday, but denied being completely naked and said she carried out the stunt to bring attention to sexual harassment.
"She told us she sells bead necklaces online and the shoot was aimed at promoting her business," said R.K Saklani, head of the local police station. "I chose to partially uncover on Laxman Jhula because each time I crossed the bridge I felt I was being harassed... My Indian sisters and fellow female travelers surely have experienced the same," she wrote.
