No sorry, I’m straight,” he says. However, the man continues to insist and is also seen holding the tourist’s hand as he attempts to walk away.After moving away from the interaction, the tourist can be heard saying, “Wow! Getting bloody molested by people younger than me.”A text overlay on the video read, “Why do Indian guys always want you to kiss them?”Social media reactionsThe clip has since gone viral, drawing thousands of comments and reactions. Many social media users criticised the behaviour and expressed concern for the tourist.“I think you landed in the wrong India,” wrote one user.Another tagged the authorities and commented, “@kolkatapolice Kindly teach these boys a good lesson.”Some users, however, pushed back against the generalisation. “If you’re so broke that you can’t visit actual tourist places, don’t blame India after wandering into random slums for content,” one person wrote.“Instead of going to good places in india u guys intentionally go to these kinds of sketchy areas just for content views then upload reels weird captions,” commented another.Several users also apologised to the tourist and said the behaviour shown in the video was unacceptable and did not represent most Indians.(Disclaimer: This report is based on user-generated content from social media.
