Earlier, on February 20,  while asking Delhi Police to inform it about the areas where incidents of eve-teasing occur, the court had observed that women in the national capital "feel unsafe" and that the issue of their safety still bore a "question mark".

The court was of the view that the only way to control or prevent crimes against women was to change the "mindset" of the people.

The court had also observed that "rape is an aggravated form of eve-teasing".
