Students Come Up With “Anti-rape” Underwear That Gives An Electric Shock To Attackers AND Alerts Cops.

After the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus
last December, 3 Indian engineering students may have found the
solution to protecting one's self from rapists.

The students designed this camisole – dubbed Society Harnessing
Equipment or SHE – which has pressure sensors sewn in around the bust
area to detect groping hands and send out shock which can be up to 82
electric shocks.

Explaining their design, co-inventor Manisha Mohan said: "A person
trying to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment
pressure sensors get activated."


She explained that she and colleagues Niladri Basu and Rimpi Tripathy
decided to put the wiring into the clothing after a survey showed most
women were first groped on their breasts. The women are protected from
the current by polymer insulation in the bra.

The makers are currently fine-tuning the design - hoping the garment
will be on sale by the end of this month.
