A resident of India is accused of indecent behavior: a tourist from South Korea in the tourist city of Jodhpur said that a man pursued her, and she filmed their “unpleasant meeting”, Free Press Journal reports.
The girl said on social networks that she was harassed by a pervert and published a video with evidence.
“The case got to the police and the accused was identified only after the alleged victim of the harassment herself posted the video on the network. As soon as the resonance from the video reached the Indian segment of social networks, the local police took action and arrested the suspect,” reports the Indian edition.
The resource adds that in the video you can see that “a man in a blue T-shirt and black shorts is chasing a girl” and then “naked in front of her.”
“The tourist ran away from him, loudly asking for help, and the man happily smiled at her back,” – says the media.

Such people spoil the image of our great country. I ask Shri @AshokGehlot51 (*note: Ashok Gehlot – Chief Minister of Rajasthan) to take the most drastic measures,” the Indian women’s rights activist wrote in her post.
While the case is under investigation and it is not known what kind of punishment threatens the “naked” man.
“According to the amendments to the Indian Penal Code adopted in 2013, “sexual harassment of women committed in a public place can be punished by imprisonment for a term of one to three years, a fine or both,” Indian media say.
