Dutch Youtuber Harassed At Bengaluru Market
Dutch YouTuber Pedro Mota was harassed in Bengaluru’s Chickpet market as he was live streaming his visit to the place. In the video, a local shopkeeper can be seen interrupting Pedro’s live stream by holding his hand aggressively and asking him what he was doing in Hindi.
Pedro politely greets the shopkeeper with a Nasmaste but the man starts harassing him. The YouTuber asks the man to let him go and escapes the scene by running off. Sharing this video on YouTube, Pedro mentioned that he was exploring the Sunday market or thieves market but that began on a wrong note as a man attacked him for no reason.
He also mentioned that while exploiting the market as a foreigner, he tasted some good food, met some great locals and also haggled for a new buttoned shirt.
