Viral harassment? Man chases foreign tourist, dances around her for Instagram reel in Delhi – Times of India

NEW DELHI: To go viral on social media, some people resort to extreme measures and some even fail to consider the impact on those around them.
A recent video from Delhi exemplifies the issue, showing a man who harasses foreign tourists while filming a dance reel in a public space.
Posted on Instagram on September 19, the video has sparked significant backlash, prompting the man to disable comments on his post.
In the footage, a tourist is taking photos when the man, identified as Sachin Raj on Instagram, approaches her and begins dancing provocatively.
Despite her evident discomfort, he continues to invade her space until her companion intervenes.
Onlookers watch the scene unfold but do not step in to help. The man persists in filming the encounter, later posting it online without offering an apology to the visibly distressed tourist.
This incident in Delhi is not isolated.
In June, a similar case occurred in Jaipur, where an 18-year-old was arrested after a video of him harassing foreign women tourists went viral.
Jaipur police initially detained the suspect, Vinod Meena, for disturbing the peace. However, as the video gained traction, they filed an FIR against him.
Authorities discovered that Meena had been forcing tourists to purchase items from his shop while also making inappropriate physical contact and lewd comments, further documenting these acts on social media for notoriety.
