Delhi Content Creator Alleges Harassment by Airport Immigration Officer
‘Dost Ban Jao, Mere Saath Chalo’: Delhi-Based Creator Alleges ‘Harassment’ By Airport’s Immigration Officer · news18.com

A man named Aahil Ibrani makes videos for the internet and lives in Delhi, India.

He was coming home from a trip to Thailand when he had to go through the airport immigration check.

A worker there started asking him personal questions, like where he lived and whether he lived alone.

The worker even asked if Aahil would be his friend and offered to take him to his home.

He also asked for Aahil's phone number, but Aahil said no and only offered his Instagram or Snapchat.

Aahil felt very uncomfortable and thought the worker was treating him unfairly.

He said the worker's behavior was wrong and that it didn't matter that he is gay.

So he started recording the conversation and put the videos on Instagram.

Many people saw the videos; some were upset for him, and others said he should report what happened.
