Foreign Tourist Alleges Harassment On Delhi-Agra Train, Shares Video Of Annoying Co-Passenger | WATCH
A video shared by a foreign travel influencer documenting her uncomfortable experience during a train journey from Delhi to Agra has gone viral on Instagram. The woman, reportedly from the Netherlands, accused a male co-passenger of taking her pictures without consent and invading her privacy throughout the journey.
In the video, the influencer described her ordeal, stating, “I am in a train in India and this annoying man is taking pictures of me and annoying me all the time in a very rude way. So I will do the same. Put the camera to his face.” The clip shows her seated by the window while a man in traditional attire smiles and poses nearby.
The influencer revealed in the caption that it was her first train journey in India and that she felt uncomfortable and unable to relax. She recounted that despite repeatedly asking the man to stop, he continued his annoying behaviour.

To address the situation, she recorded a video of her own, hoping it would deter him. “I hoped he would understand as he spoke some English, but he didn’t seem to care,” she wrote.
While expressing frustration, she also emphasised her love for India, stating that the incident would not deter her from exploring the country. “I love India very much and this experience won’t stop me. I’ve already made many local friends and experienced great hospitality,” she said.
The video received significant attention, with mixed reactions from Instagram users. Some expressed sympathy and support, with one commenting, “Sorry for your experience. Some men in India don’t understand boundaries.” Others highlighted the cultural disconnect, with a user humorously remarking, “He has no idea what you’re talking about.”
