Transcript

00:00This video was posted by a Japanese man, Kaito, currently travelling in India.

00:10What was meant to be a casual scooty ride with his friend from North East India,

00:13soon took a serious and unsettling turn.

00:15According to Kaito's friend, who has remained anonymous for safety reasons,

00:19she began receiving phone calls from the police shortly after uploading the video.

00:23The calls allegedly included threats demanding the video be deleted,

00:26with the officers claiming they would forgive the duo if they complied.

00:30The incident occurred on 25 August 2025, just 10 minutes after Kaito had purchased

00:35a pair of Ray-Ban MetaSmart glasses from a nearby market.

00:38Ironically, the glasses ended up recording what would become key evidence.

00:47They were initially stopped because only one of them was wearing a helmet.

00:50When they requested a receipt for the fine, the officers reportedly refused.

00:54More concerningly, the police exchanged phone numbers with Kaito's friend,

00:57under the pretense of helping them if they were stopped again.

01:00However, she later claimed to have received multiple missed calls,

01:03ordering her to delete the video.

01:09He suggested they were being singled out for not looking Indian.

01:12As the video gained views online, many have come out in support of Kaito and his friend.

01:17For Kaito, the incident was a rude awakening, a first-hand experience of what many would

01:21describe as a bribe. In response, the Gurugram police have suspended three officers involved in the incident.
