Mobeen Shaikh, Mohammad Ansari nabbed for molesting Korean YouTuber live-streaming from Mumbai streets

The Korean YouTuber was live-streaming in front of 1000+ people last night, when one of these men pulled her by hand. When she protested, he came back again on a bike with another friend.

Mumbai, Dec 01: In what is an embarrassment for the whole nation, a video has surfaced showing a woman YouTuber, reportedly from South Korea, being sexually harassed by Mobeen Chand Mohammad Shaikh and Mohammad Naqeeb Sadrealam Ansari on a street in Mumbai while she was live-streaming.

The police have arrested two people in this regard after a search operation was launched to locate the miscreants. On Wednesday, Police said they had not received any complaint, but they have taken notice of the incident on their own and started a probe into it.

In a statement, the police said, "Two youths - Mobeen Chand Mohammad Shaikh and Mohammad Naqeeb Sadrealam Ansari - arrested for allegedly molesting a Korean woman YouTuber during a live streaming. Khar Police registered an FIR u/s 354 IPC and arrested both of them."

The video clip was shared by Twitter handle Beaver_R6 (Aditya) who claimed the woman was from South Korea and was livestreaming in suburban Khar area when the incident took place around 8 pm on Wednesday.

"A streamer from Korea was harassed by these boys in Khar last night while she was live streaming in front of a 1000+ people. This is disgusting and some action needs to be taken against them. This cannot go unpunished," user wrote on Twitter.

The video showed a young man coming very close to her and trying to pull her by holding her hand even when she protested.

She started walking away from the spot. A few seconds later, she said,'Time to go home', it was not over yet.

The man again appeared on a motorbike with a friend, offering her a lift while she told him in broken English that she did not want it.

Retweeting the video, the woman said she tried not to escalate the situation as the accused was with another person.

"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 that it was initiated by me being too friendly and engaging the conversation. Makes me think again about streaming," she wrote.
