In early October 2025, a viral video from Hyderabad’s iconic Charminar area exposed a group of young men hurling racial and sexual slurs at a foreign woman, prompting her male companion to calmly confront them, warning, “Be careful about what you say.”
The incident, widely shared on social media platforms like Instagram and X, ignited public outrage, with users slamming the harassment as a stain on Hyderabad’s cosmopolitan image. Hyderabad Police responded, escalating the case to the Charminar SHO for investigation, though no arrests were confirmed by October 22, 2025.
