Abstract: Sexual harassment is a global issue. In a recent case in Mumbai, two young men, Keenan Santos (24) and Reuben Fernandez (29) were stabbed on 20 Oct 2011 while confronting some unknown men eve-teasing their female friends. Santos and Fernandez had to lose their lives in refusing to accept this misbehaviour and making their point about ‘zero tolerance’ to sexual harassment. This commentary attempts to reflect on the current situation of sexual harassment in Mumbai city.
