Outrage in India as Japanese tourist is seen groped in Delhi in video during Hindu festival
For at least 24 seconds, a rowdy mob of men and boys groped, shoved and humiliated a petite Japanese tourist on a street in New Delhi, on a day meant to mark Holi – the Hindu Festival of Colours and Love.Two men and a minor were arrested on Saturday, as calls for police to take action grew.
But they were also seen in the clip groping her, touching her chest, and pushing her around, even as she tried to flee from them, saying repeatedly: “Itai, itai”, which translates from Japanese to “It hurts.”The woman then slapped a man who tried to grab her chest, and then quickly ran into an alley.The victim was said to have flown to Bangladesh without filing a complaint.
The National Commission for Women demanded that police conduct a “fair and time-bound investigation” into the incident.“The women protesting the molestation and harassment during Holi is not defaming the religion or festival. The men doing it are. Go after them,” wrote Twitter user Priyashmita Guha.
