A content creator in Delhi wanted to learn what traveling alone at night might feel like for a woman.

He wore a dress, makeup, and a dupatta to change his appearance.

He rode a scooty through the city while friends filmed parts of the experiment.

He said people stared at him and some men followed him.

He also said two auto-rickshaw drivers moved in front of his scooty.
