A young woman was harassed by a passerby in Bengaluru for not wearing 'proper clothes' in public in yet another case of moral policing.

An unidentified man stopped the couple when they were riding on a motorbike on Thursday night and started yelling at the woman for "not following Indian rules". The incident, which took place in HSR Layout area, was filmed by her boyfriend and uploaded on Facebook.

In the video, the man can be seen arguing with the woman's boyfriend and repetitively asking them to follow "Indian rules" and wear the "proper dress code of India".

The video was uploaded by the woman's friend Simran Kapoor, a Bengaluru resident, who narrated the incident in the caption.

She said that when the man approached her friend, a techie from Mumbai, he was not drunk.

"He was a sober educated Indian common man who is now keeping a watch of the sanctity of his own 'Indian culture' that he thinks is wronged by dress code of my friend (sic)," the Facebook post said.

"His nonchalant behaviour was so scary as he kept on asking people nearby pointing at my friend in support to give a judgement whether he was right or wrong as you see in the video," she added in the post.
