A British content creator travelling through India was allegedly stalked while jogging in Odisha . The solo traveller, who goes by Amy On The Move online, shared a video capturing a man following her in Bhadrak. She noted that the unsettling ordeal forced her to abandon a planned solo cycling trip across the country.
Because she made it obvious she was on a video call, speaking with Hindustantimes.com, she alleged that the man only backed away.
They won’t do anything. She had been exploring India for the past two weeks, and the alleged incident occurred while she was visiting Odisha. “I came here planning to cycle from Kolkata down to Kerala, then up the west coast. I thought it would be amazing to see rural India. Now I don’t feel it is safe enough to do that alone. When asked if she approached the authorities, the content creator alleged, “No. I regularly see people throwing trash on the ground instead of in bins, sometimes in front of police officers, and the police do nothing. If they are too lazy to stop people littering, why would they care about this? Though the incident left her shaken, she noted that her trip to India wasn’t entirely negative. She fondly recalled her time in Bengaluru, highlighting how helpful and welcoming the locals were. There was some nightlife, good food, and it felt relatively safe. After this incident, I received hundreds of messages, especially from people in South India telling me to go there where it is safe.”
Amy told Hindustantimes.com, “I was in Bangalore earlier this year and it was decent.
