Kochi, January 1: New Year festivities turned into a nightmarish
experience for many foreigners at the Fort Kochi beach in Kochi as some
revellers allegedly harassed and molested some of the female tourists.
Many of the tourists made a hurried exit from the beach last night after
virtually being driven to tears by the revellers.
Some youngsters allegedly misbehaved with the teenaged daughter of a
Swedish tourist, Christon, who had come all the way to Kochi to
celebrate New Year with his family, police said.
"We respect Indian women and expect the same from Indian men towards our
ladies," an angry Christon said, adding such behaviour would only harm
the state's interests.
Another woman, who was part of a group of foreign tourists, was also
allegedly molested, police said.
