A Korean blogger, filming herself on a tour in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur, was harassed, followed and flashed at by a man, assumedly a local who has since been arrested.

The tourist captured the whole incident on camera and shared it which was spotted by a journalist in the state who then shared it on Twitter.

In the short clip, the woman can be seen walking down some steps in an area in the daytime but not many people were around. The accused was seen first smiling at her and eventually following her. She gives him space to go ahead of her and then he is seen standing at a spot waiting for the young woman to come down the stairs. He then exposes his genitals at her as he continues laughing.

The woman, visibly horrified, starts shouting for help and running from the spot even as the man slowly follows her, still smiling.

The video, now viral, caught the attention of Delhi Commission of Women chief Swati Maliwal who demanded strict action against the man and tagged Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in her tweet.

People like these are spoiling the image of our great country. Am writing to Shri @AshokGehlot51 to take strongest action! pic.twitter.com/8vfjblcizx
