A Rajasthan man was detained yesterday for allegedly harassing women tourists and sharing their videos on social media, the police said.
He posted several offensive videos on his Instagram account, causing widespread outrage.
In one video, Guru was seen making derogatory remarks and assigning “rate tags” to the women tourists near Amer Fort in Jaipur. “She is available for Rs 150, she is for Rs 200, you can get her for Rs 500 and this one is for Rs 300,” Guru is heard saying.
Guys like these are the reason why international tourists have bad experience in India. @jaipur_police should arrest this guy for harassing tourists and teach him basic civic sense and the meaning of Atithi Devo Bhava. pic.twitter.com/I59AymLtHQ
