"Engineering students in New Delhi have developed a bra that shocks and burns potential attackers.
It also has GPS.
Nearly two years ago, the gruesome gang rape and murder of a young woman on a bus in New Delhi left many Indians shocked and saddened.Tens of thousands took to the streets of the capital, urging the government to act.
Eventually, lawmakers passed stringent new anti-rape legislation.
But for some concerned citizens like Manisha Mohan, changing the law wasn’t enough.
The 22-year-old engineering student wanted to give women a way to defend themselves against attackers, something that went beyond mace, pepper spray or mixed martial arts.
So over the past year, Mohan and two of her fellow students developed a rape-repellent bra that can shock and burn attackers."
