Korean vlogger harassed in Pune:
The video, that has now gone viral, shows Kelly filming her experience in India. As part of it, she was seen conversing with local shopkeepers and customers while sipping coconut water.
As she continues to record the video, two men suddenly pop up in the background and one of them grabs her and places his hands around her neck. Despite the woman's attempts to distance herself, the harasser persists, making her visibly uncomfortable.
“I have to run from here… They really like to hug,” the vlogger can be heard saying in the video.
The video evoked strong responses from netizens who called for strict action against the man.
"This is not a warm welcome, this is a harassment and makes feel the visitor unsafe," an X user wrote. Another added, "Very shameful. Maharashtra govt should take action."
Reportedly, she had come to the region during the Diwali celebrations and posted the video last week on her YouTube. Kelly has more than 1.69 lakh subscribers on the video-sharing platform.
