"teep".
In the GD filed on 2 April, Dr Lata stated that a man
wearing a police uniform verbally abused her for wearing a "teep",
near the Farmgate area in the capital Saturday.
"When I protested the harassment, the policeman tried
to run me over with his motorcycle. I moved away and tried to save my life. But
I fell under the bike and got severely injured," she added.

nearby traffic police officers, they advised her to file a complaint in the
police station.
