A video of a confrontation on an Indian domestic flight has gone viral on the global interwebs, where a Singapore-based businessman was left completely humiliated after a woman took out her phone and started filming him, all while giving him shit for touching her inappropriately repeated times.
The video has since accumulated nearly seven million views on YouTube as of writing.
Various media reports allege that Dr. Ravindra Jhunjunwala, a Singaporean Permanent Resident, had made two attempts to molest the 32-year-old woman sitting in front of him as the plane prepared to land in Bhubaneswar.
The victim then proceeded to berate him loudly in front of the passengers, intentionally causing a scene to shame him. And shamed he was as he tried to hide his face and sinking deep into his seat as he humanly can while he sheepishly made several attempts to apologize. The victim was having none of it. "I created such a scene, humiliated him in front of the whole flight! He thought like usual girls will keep quiet and he can get away with this! I have lodged an FIR now! He is a very rich man of Bhubaneswar and is now very humiliated in front of the people who know him. Can't believe the ordeal I had to go through but being silent is a crime! The police officer was very helpful and the Indigo staff remained with me throughout," she wrote. "I clicked his pictures and made videos, shouted so loud that the entire plane came forward to see him! I made sure I humiliate him as much as possible because I know law will do nothing."
In a follow-up video, the man insists that it was all a mistake, and that he was prepared to face the consequences.
According to The Straits Times, Dr. Jhunjhunwala is a well known businessman in India, and is chairman of the Orind and Shashwat group of companies, dealing with heat-resistant material for various industries.
Speaking to the paper, he maintains that he was framed, and seems confident that he will be exonerated.
The case is now under investigation by the Indian authorities.
