  • Indian man under fire for ‘assigning rates’ to female tourists

    Indian man under fire for ‘assigning rates’ to female tourists

    A man named Guru from Jaipur, India, has sparked online outrage by posting a video of himself assigning rates to foreign women tourists visiting the state.

    Unaware of Guru’s intentions, women tourists reacted normally and smiled in the reels. However, his derogatory tone in the name of generating content offended many people online.

    He was detained on June 23 by the local police for harassing women tourists and posting their videos online.

    Shared on the Instagram account @guru__brand0000, Guru can be seen saying in the videos, “Guys, you will get these women for Rs 150.” Pointing out to individual women, Guru assigns different rates and says, “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.”

    Since Guru was speaking in Hindi, none of the women tourists could decipher the offensive content of his video.

    In another video, Guru went beyond limits by approaching a couple and saying that the woman tourist was his wife. He said, “Guys, she is my wife. He is my brother-in-law. How do you guys like him? My brother-in-law.”

    Police have also found that the man forcibly made foreign tourists buy products from his shop in the Amer Market of Jaipur.

    This is not the first time foreign tourists have been harassed in India. Recently, a Spanish woman who was out on a bike tour with her partner was gang-raped during her stay in Jharkhand state.
