Indian Cricket Players in Canada Protect Woman from Alleged Follower in Viral VideoPreviousNext

A viral video from British Columbia, Canada, shows Indian men playing cricket intervening to protect a young woman who appeared to be followed by a man. The players formed a protective barrier, questioned the man, and warned they would call 911 if he did not leave. The woman stayed close to the group, appearing uneasy. The exact circumstances remain unclear, with some speculation that she may have sought help while walking her dog.
