The man is also seen gesturing toward someone off-camera and can be heard using foul language at one point during the incident.

The clip was shared on X with the caption: “A foreign tourist created chaos in Dharamshala’s busy market, threw vegetables from vendors’ stalls, damaged property, and even misbehaved with a female police officer before being arrested.”

At the time of publication, indianexpress.com could not independently verify whether the individual was arrested.

The post further remarked, “If an Indian tourist had done this abroad, it would be global headlines, lectures on culture, and endless social media outrage.”

The footage has sparked a heated discussion online, with users expressing differing views on the incident.

One user wrote, “These kinds of things happen very rarely and No foreigners will support him. Indians habitually do these things like dancing And aggressive behavior or stealing, SCAMMING people and are always supported by arrogant Indians and also take pride in it.”

Another commented, “Looks like he’s on some drugs and absolutely zero tolerance to this kind of behavior should be allowed!”

A third user said, “If it were an Indian in european market doing such shit ..this video would’ve crossed a million views by now.”

Meanwhile, another person pointed to what they saw as a double standard, writing, “When an Indian misbehaves overseas: ‘This represents your country’s culture.’ When a foreigner misbehaves in India: ‘It’s just one individual.’ Either individuals represent nobody, or everyone gets judged equally. Pick one.”
