In her subsequent tweet, she wrote, “I think it was imperative I talked about my experience from the frontline. I am in no way belittling the incidents of misbehavior wherever they may have been reported. But they must be dealt as separate incidents and not generalized to the entire community,” the lady doctor tweeted.
Her tweet has gone viral within hours with more than 7,000 likes and nearly 4,000 retweets.
