Lohagad: A video showing a local man confronting a group of tourists from Delhi for allegedly smoking cigarettes at Maharashtra's historic Lohagad Fort has gone viral on social media. According to the viral clip, a local resident confronted the tourists, who were reportedly from Delhi, after noticing them smoking at the historic landmark. The exact date of the incident is not known.
The local man can be heard questioning the group, comprising both young men and women, and urging them to respect the sanctity of Lohagad, one of the historic forts closely associated with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Warning over smoking
Initially, members of the group argued that they could not find a "No Smoking" board at the fort. When the man warned of a police complaint, the group then started saying they had lit the cigarette because they were unaware that they were not allowed to do so.
The local man then took away the cigarette packet from the group and also warned that it should not be repeated.
