Popular YouTuber Mithilesh Backpaker recently shared an experience he encountered in Rajasthan's Udaipur where a group of men harassed his Russian wife. The vlogger captured the incident on camera and later posted it online. In the video, he revealed that a group of men followed his wife Lisa and their two-year-old son during their visit to the City Palace in Udaipur. He also captured the moment when his wife was harassed with comments like “6,000 INR?”.
The YouTuber was recording a video when a man made a sexually suggestive comment to his wife. He immediately pointed his camera at the eve teaser and confronted him. He threatened to call the police, even though the perpetrator continued to deny that his comment was directed at the Russian woman.
“6,000 INR kisko bolta, merko samajhta nahi kya? (Don't I understand who you are saying 6,000 to?),” the YouTuber asked. “Kikso bola? Meri woman Russian hai toh tu ulta seedha comment dega? (My wife is Russian, so you're going to say these nonsensical things?)” he added.
In the video, the YouTuber said that the men were already following him and his family before the comment “INR 6,000” triggered him. He claimed that City Palace security, instead of helping him, urged him to drop the case and not call the police. He criticized India's security situation for women and people's attitudes.
“I was so angry. I was with my wife. How can people behave like this? It was very shocking and very embarrassing for me. My wife came to India… I wanted to promote Indian tourism, that India is so beautiful, so safe. And if something like this happens, what should I do?” he asked.

The YouTuber shared the video earlier this month. The clip has since gone viral and sparked outrage among social media users. “You should definitely file a complaint with the police, such things should not be taken lightly, it is deeply ingrained in the minds of young Indian people and should be punished,” said one user.
“Shame on us, shame on us, shame on India. We just stand and watch and film without helping others. We are a failed society with inhumanity. Not just this case, but there are so many similar cases happening. It I'm really sorry for this misbehavior, Mithilesh bhai and everyone I hope things will change for the better one day,” said another.
“You should file a complaint against that boy. Ridiculous to see how Indian youth are trying to tarnish the image of India in the eyes of foreigners,” a third user suggested. “Absolutely horrible behaviour… felt so bad,” said another.
