A video of a tailor misbehaving with a female customer is going viral on social media. In this 2:20 second long video, a tailor can be seen misbehaving with a woman while taking her measurements. After this, the woman gets uncomfortable and immediately leaves the shop. In next scene, a woman wearing burqa came to his shop to get her clothes stitched. The tailors tried to misbehave with women wearing burqa as well. However, the woman grabs his hand and takes off his burqa and says that she is a cop. After this, the tailor started apologizing to the woman. While sharing this video, it is being claimed that the man in the viral video is a Muslim who tries to misbehave with Hindu female customers.
A Twitter user shared this video and wrote a caption in Hindi which reads, "हिंदू घर की बहु,बहन, बेटियां कभी भी मुस्लिम टेलर की दुकान या मेंहदी लगाने वाले के यहां बिल्कुल ना जाए। देखिये इस वीडियो को और समझिये इनकी धुर्तता को। अपना टेलर भी हिंदू ही चुनें."
[English Translation: The daughter-in-law, sisters, daughters of a Hindu household should never go to a Muslim tailor's shop at all. Watch this video and understand their cunningness. Choose your tailor who is Hindu.]
A Facebook user wrote, "हिन्दू बहिन बेटियों से निवेदन हैं कि मुस्लिमो की दुकान पर न जाये ये गलत मानसिकता के लोग है इनकी गन्दी सोच हैं| इनसे कपड़े, मेहदी, चुड़ी या ओर भी किसी प्रकार का सामना न लें और ना ही अपनी किसी बहन बेटी को लेने दे."
[English Translation: Hindu sisters and daughters are requested not to go to Muslim shops, they are people of the wrong mindset, they have dirty thinking. Do not take clothes, mehndi, bangles or any kind of products from them, nor let any of your sisters and daughters take products from them.]
