A viral video from Mumbai has triggered a police case after a foreign solo traveller alleged she was followed and repeatedly pressured for a selfie by two young men near the Dhobi Ghat viewing deck at Mahalaxmi station on Wednesday, despite clearly refusing.

Police have registered a suo motu FIR for stalking based on the footage, even as the traveller, who had been touring India for nearly two months, said the incident stood out as the first time she felt unsafe during an otherwise positive journey across the country.
