Portuguese woman moved to 2AC after uncomfortable encounter with men in Indian train

A Portuguese travel vlogger, Ines Faria, has shared her uncomfortable experience of being followed while travelling on an Indian train.

A Portuguese travel influencer has shared a harrowing experience from her train journey in India, saying she felt increasingly uncomfortable after a group of men in her compartment kept watching her and later followed her toward the bathroom.

The vlogger identified as Ines Faria, posted the account on Instagram while documenting her travels across the country. In one post, she described a disturbing incident that occurred while she and a friend were travelling in a 3AC compartment of an Indian train.

“Sometimes travel isn’t always comfortable,” she wrote in the caption while explaining the situation.

According to Faria, the journey initially appeared routine, as she mentioned that 3AC is usually the class she prefers while travelling in India. However, the atmosphere soon turned uncomfortable when a group of men seated across from them began watching them persistently.

“We were on a 3AC train in India, which is usually very safe and the class we normally take. But during this ride, a group of boys sitting across from us kept staring, changing seats and watching us constantly. It started to feel really uncomfortable,” she wrote.

The situation escalated when she decided to use the bathroom. To avoid passing directly by the group, she walked to another compartment instead of using the restroom near her seats. However, the move did not prevent the incident that followed.
