Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 1 (ANI): The two youths, who allegedly harassed a South Korean woman YouTuber during a live streaming in the Khar area of Mumbai, were sent to one-day police custody on Thursday.
Mumbai Police on Thursday arrested two people -- Mobeen Chand Mohammad Shaikh (19) and Mohammad Naqeeb Sadrealam Ansari (20) -- on the charge of harassing the YouTuber in the Khar area of the city.

Reportedly, the South Korea national was harassed and molested by the accused on Tuesday night while she was streaming live from Khar.
A video of the incident went viral on social media.
Taking suo motu cognizance of the viral video, the Khar police registered a case under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and arrested the accused.
Taking to Twitter, Mumbai Police wrote, "Mumbai Police's Khar Police station has taken a suo motu action in an incident that happened with a Korean woman (foreigner) in the jurisdiction of Khar West. In this regard, both the accused have been arrested and booked under relevant sections of the IPC."

Narrating her harrowing experience, the woman tweeted, "Last night on stream, there was a guy who harassed me. I tried my best not to escalate the situation and leave because he was with his friend. And some people said it was initiated by me, being too friendly and engaging in a conversation. It makes me think again about streaming." (ANI)
