should i help her or just stay away?

r/

backstory: there was a girl (19F) and me (19M) in jee coaching. in 2 years, we barely spoke. after coaching, everyone prepared from home. she got into a college in pune, and many of my old friends are also here.

after two years, a few days ago, i ran into her on a campus. we had a short chat, exchanged numbers, and later decided to meet for a walk in her campus the next day. during our walk, we were just talking casually we instantly matched our vibe as we were from same region of maharashtra when suddenly two tall, big guys came up to us and started questioning loudly
“kab se chal raha hai tumhara?”
“agar chal nahi raha toh haath mein haath dalke kyun chal rahe ho?” (i was like wtf bro what are you talkig about?)
we weren’t even holding. they kept asking “kya lagti hai ye teri?” and made a scene in front of people. one guy said “tu ruk yaha, sun is ladki ne kya kiya hai mere sath,” while the other told me to leave. she also asked me to go. i was worried things might turn violent, i left but later sent a friend to check, everything had calmed down.

later that night, she texted me apologizing and called me, crying. she said one of the guys was her ex who still harasses and abuses her even though they broke up 6 months ago. seeing her with me made him jealous. she also told me that a past ex (an old friend of mine) had harassed her before, even sending false claims like “ye cigarette fukti hai, daru peti hai and even sleep with guys” about her to her family, which damaged their trust.
she kept saying sorry and that i shouldn’t waste my time on her. i advised her to try ending things calmly with her ex, and if that fails, to go to the women’s cell or a psychiatrist. she thanked me for listening.

now i’m confused. should i keep supporting her or step back? from the start, when we first met in pune, it felt like she was trying to get close to me, but we barely knew each other before. and on our first proper meeting, all this drama happened. is she genuinely in need of help or just looking for sympathy? will our future conversations even feel normal?

what should i do? i seriously need your advice into this.. guys!!!

tldr: met an old coaching friend after 2 years, we clicked instantly, but on our first meetup two guys suddenly showed up and caused drama.
