A shameful case has come to light from the historic Charminar area of Hyderabad city. The incident of harassment of a foreign female tourist here has tarnished the image of the city. This whole matter came to light after an old video went viral on social media, after which the police became active and started investigating the incident. According to the information, this video is a few days old. In the video, a foreign woman is seen loitering near Charminar. Meanwhile, a person is seen coming close to him and verbally harassing him. The woman tries to ignore the situation at first, but as the man’s actions increase, she feels uncomfortable. In the video, the woman is seen moving away from there after keeping some distance to save herself. But the people around remain silent even after seeing this incident. This video of the incident was recorded by a passerby, which is now going viral on social media. After the video went viral, Hyderabad police took this case seriously. Police officials in South Zone said the video is being investigated and efforts are being made to identify the person seen in it. “Whether this incident is old or new, the city’s image and the safety of tourists cannot be compromised. The culprit will be arrested soon,” officials said. #FactCheck pic.twitter.com/1ox401kErb— PS Charminar (@shocharminar) October 6, 2025 The police also appealed to the people to immediately report such incidents so that timely action can be taken. At the same time, people expressed anger over this incident on social media as well. One user wrote – “This is a very shameful experience for tourists visiting India, such incidents are a stain on the culture of our country.” Charminar is one of the most famous tourist destinations of Hyderabad, where thousands of domestic and foreign tourists come every day. In such a situation, such incidents not only create a sense of insecurity for the tourists, but also raise questions about the reputation of the city. The local administration said that additional police forces would soon be deployed for women’s safety at Charminar and other tourist spots. Along with this, the monitoring of CCTV cameras will also be increased so that immediate action can be taken on such incidents. At present, the police have constituted a team of IT cell and local police station officials in this case who are verifying the authenticity, location and time of the video. After completion of the investigation, strict action will be taken against the culprit. This incident again raises the question that even in a hospitable country like India, many steps need to be taken regarding the safety of women. Share this story Tags
