A Dutch YouTuber was allegedly manhandled by a local trader near Chickpet in Bengaluru when the YouTuber was recording a video in the area.
"It's a old video which has come into circulation now. The person harassing in the video has been identified traced and action taken. No scope for such highhandedness in Naamma Bengaluru against anybody," Bengaluru Police commissioner tweeted.
The video shows the YouTuber smiling while shooting a selfie video in the market when a man objects to his recording and grabs his hand. The Dutch man can be seen repeatedly requesting him to let go.
According to a report by NDTV, police have arrested the trader, identified as Navab Hayath Sharif, and filed a case against him under Section 92 of the Karnataka Police Act, which prescribes punishment for "certain street offences and nuisance."
