Family of Teen Indian Sexual Attacker Condemns American Victim for ‘Overreacting’
Breitbart ^ | January 19, 2026 | John Hayward

Posted on 01/19/2026 3:58:21 PM PST by Morgana

The family of a teenage Indian boy who groped a female American tourist at a New Delhi metro station is accusing the victim of “overreacting” to the incident, arguing that the teen merely got “carried away” during his first encounter with a blonde woman.

The American woman was reportedly visiting India to attend a friend’s wedding. She described her encounter at the train station as the “one unfortunate and ugly incident” that marred a “fun and memorable eight days in India.”

Her story was relayed through social media on Friday by Gaurav Sabnis, a professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology whose class the woman once attended. She contacted him because she recalled his warning, based on his youthful memories of growing up in India, that she would attract a great deal of unwanted attention based on her looks.

“I told her, be on guard for sexual harassment. Especially in Delhi. Here, you’re just another blond. There, you’ll be a target,” Sabnis recalled telling his student.

According to the woman, strangers began approaching her as soon as she landed in New Delhi, asking to take pictures with her. Recalling Sabnis’ advice, she said “no” to the many men who approached her, but agreed to take a few pictures with women and children.

“But then a teenage boy, maybe 14 or 15, at a Delhi Metro station just ruined it forever,” she said. “He was with his mom and sister, so I thought okay, why not.”

“He puts an arm on my shoulder,” she told Sabnis. “Weird, but okay, he’s a teenager. And then, professor, he just straight up grabbed my breasts hard, and spanked my butt, and giggled like he had played a joke.”

He did this in front of his mother and sister? Says a lot about this animal’s upbringing and what his sister must be going through at home - is he Muslim?

He could be Hindu. This is India and women are just not valued at all no matter the religion.

Yeah, we’re weird like that. We place as much value on female life as we do male.

She was warned, and warned with that professor using plain language. This is how that group will react to a young blonde woman with no male escort. Yes, even in year 2026.
Doesn’t matter where your degree is from.
Yet, you jumped over there anyway.

Of course the teenage Boy was wrong, and he knew it.
So, too was the young Lady. Her ‘crime’ was been unwise. There could have been a far more serious ending, one where she would never have returned to the US at all.

Who in their right mind would ever go to India.

Watch this Bald And Bankrupt video, and you will quickly lose any desire.

Don’t visit India especially if you’re a White woman
and don’t allow Indians in your country either.

My blonde sister married into a Cuban community in Miami.

Even on sidewalks, she endured such “admiration” from ADULT males.

:(

I would have an easier time, since I’m not a young, blond woman, but any tourist has to be careful and somewhat prepared.
First thing I would do is make sure I had good health insurance and a stipulation that I would be brought back to the states if I broke a leg or was in a bad way.

Under the right circumstances, I would love to travel to India and that part of the world. The closest I ever got would be Izmir, Turkey, while in the Navy. I wouldn’t expect the same standard of living in most areas. I love parts of their traditional art. As with much of China, the formations and natural terrain are immense and quite impressive.

Wait. Their defense is that Indians can’t control themselves in the presence of blonde women?

Indian men attack Western White women on a regular basis. E.M. Forster wrote about in A Passage to India, and the sexual assault Caves of Marabar (modeled on the Barabar Caves). That was the whole point of the story, east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet. Animals are going to act like animals.
