PLANO, TX- Last month, in Plano, Texas when a video emerged of a woman hurling racist rants towards a group of four Indian American women, the incident gathered a lot of attention.

After the victims called the police, the lady was arrested the following day and released on a $10,000 bond.

But now, one of the four women who were approached by Esmeralda Upton in a totally unproved racist vitriol, has gone ahead to file a lawsuit against the verbal attacker.

Bidisha Rudra an Indian American who has lived for 20-years in the US has now approached the Collin County civil court. Rudra has sued her attacker for compensatory and punitive damages.

While talking to Dallas Observer, Rudra said, “Life has not been the same since the incident, to put it lightly.” She added, “There’s a lot of trauma, emotional distress and a feeling of insecurity that keeps haunting me all the time. The assailant’s words keep ringing in my ears when I go to sleep.” She also said, “Any minority is under some sort of threat in today’s world,”
