Two women took to social media platform X and alleged that two men seen in the video "eve-teased" them at a hotel in Shillong. The woman claimed that while they were clicking pictures in the passage of the hotel when the two men "made noises". However, in the video, a woman said to be the wife of one of the men is seen defending the two men. The incident took place in Courtyard Hotel in Shillong. The women claimed that the men had also done the same during the (music) concert but that they had avoided them then.
In the video, captions fill the gap to explain the sequence of events. However, the action in the video and the captions are not in sync which makes it clear that the video is edited.
This made several netizens raise questions on the video and the claims made by the two women questioning them to upload the entire clip to prove their allegations.
However, an update in the matter claimed that there was more to the incident than what met the eye. One of the men, identified as Manoj Kasyap, Executive Director, Mahi Group reacted to the incident by taking to social media platform X. He is seen in the video in black shirt.
"Hi guys,i am aware of a video that is being circulated,a video conveniently edited to potray one side of the story and play a victim card. For me to showcase the progression of these events i would need the CCTV footage from @CourtyardHotels at shillong. So as requested by Marriott we have sent an email to the concerned party and we request them to post the video so that everyone knows what really happened," posted Kasyap
The man, as evident in his post, said that the video uploaded by the women was edited and "one-sided". He has also said that they have contacted the hotel to get the full CCTV footage. "We request them to post the video so that everyone knows what really happened," the man said in his post.
