Dhull, in his response, tried to “weaponise” female terror.

In the viral clip, Dhull is seen advising the follower to engage in predatory behaviour under the guise of “prank”.

He said, “There’s no need to fear women. Follow them at 11 pm. Don’t touch them, just follow. Walk behind them, then run fast and overtake them. She’ll pee her pants in fear.”

Someone said on X, “Not all men. But men who say such things. Men who laugh at it. Men who listen to things like this silently without calling it out.”

Another said, “Women’s fear of being assaulted at night is fun for them.”

The episode leaves us wondering whether one should compromise with one’s conscience for the sake of a viral moment.
