MUMBAI: A foreign woman traveller has alleged harassment in Mumbai and shared a video on social media detailing her experience.The woman shared a video on Instagram, saying the incident took place during her stay in India. She added that it was the first time she had encountered such an experience in the country.
“This was the first time something like this happened to me in India, and I’ve been here for 2 months now. Most of my experience has been beautiful, kind and welcoming. But this day was different,” she said.In her Instagram post, she claimed that a group of men allegedly followed her and her companion, persistently requesting photographs despite her repeated refusals.“They kept following us, asking for photos even after I said no multiple times. I didn’t feel comfortable, and they were super pushy. They followed us around for over 15 minutes, and it started to feel really overwhelming. At some point, I had to physically push them away just to create space,” she said.She further emphasised the importance of consent and personal safety, writing, “Just a reminder that ‘no’ is a full sentence. And your safety and comfort always come first.” (With agency inputs)
