On june night, 16-year-old Akanksha Gaute was riding home with her father when they were threatened by four men on motorcycles. The men blocked their path, made lewd comments, and issued violent threats. Akanksha, who had been trained in martial arts for nine years, sprang into action. Before the men could react, she swiftly neutralized them, hitting them in soft spots and effectively defending herself and her father. The attackers, caught off guard by Akanksha’s skill and determination, were quickly subdued. Her quick thinking and martial arts training ensured their safety. Akanksha, who had traveled to the capital from Chhattisgarh, confidently reflected on the incident, noting that they had “messed with the wrong people.”
