It was around 6 am so the road was not that crowded and busy."

Further in the conversation, Tejasswi shared how two boys chased her due to which she ran into an unknown building out of fear. In her words:
“These two boys returned on the bike, they saw me, and they started talking something with each other. I was alone on the road, and they passed by me and were again returning to me on the bike. During this, I quickly ran into a random building, and the guard stopped me, but I requested him that I wanted to go. So I ran into the building's garden, and there were many trees so I hid in between those trees. I sat there for half an hour and then got on the main road to go home."
As Tejasswi got out of the building, she didn’t go to her own home and headed straight to her friend’s place as she didn’t want the boys to know her location. In her words:
“I had an instinct that the boys are looking at me from afar. I thought if I went to my house, these boys would know about my location, and I have a younger brother and mother at home. So I purposely went to my friend's house as she lived with her brothers and her whole family. I thought if these boys followed me to this house my friend's brothers would handle them. After a week, I stepped out again and unfortunately, I was wearing the same clothes. I was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. It was evening and these boys were still roaming on their bikes.”
