Summary
- Vlogger Ines Faria was followed by men for 15 minutes.

A travel vlogger from Portugal, Ines Faria, shared a viral video documenting an uncomfortable encounter in Mumbai where two men persistently followed her, demanding selfies and friendship. The incident occurred despite Faria having a largely positive two-month experience in India. She stated the men ignored her repeated refusals for over fifteen minutes, making her feel unsafe and uncomfortable.
