2 men arrested for harassing Korean Woman YouTuber

This came after a video of a South Korean woman YouTuber went viral she was harassed by two youths in Mumbai's Khar area on Wednesday night. In the video, one of the men was seen dragging the YouTuber by her hand as she asked where are we going and then replied with "no, no". The man asked her to sit on his bike but she refused. He further tried to come very close to her and pulled her close, this time the woman walked away. 

As the woman began to walk away from the spot, the same man again appeared on a motorbike with a friend, offering her a lift while she told him in broken English that she did not want one. However, no complaint was filed but the Mumbai police contacted the YouTuber and sought details of the incident. Both the accused have now been arrested.
