Several clips of the Vlog have been shared online and these show Pedro responding with the plea, "Please let me go, sir."
Pedro, manages to free himself and continues onward in the bustling market.

In the video that he captioned "Attacked At The Thieves Market In India," Pedro wrote, "Foreigner traveling in India experiences the thieves market in Bangalore, also known as the Sunday market or chor bazaar. But exploring the area started out on the wrong foot as an angry man attacked me by grabbing and twisting my hand and arm, lunging after me as I tried to escape. After I had some street food, met great local Indian people and haggled for a new buttoned shirt."

Soon after the video went viral on social media, several users urged Bengaluru police to take action against the accused. The incident happened two months ago but the video was uploaded on Sunday, ANI reported Karnataka police sources. The agency's sources said that police have conducted investigations and have reached out to Pedro Moda, who has said that he does not remember when this incident took place.

According to them, the accused is an auto driver and a seller of secondhand shirts and pants. He was afraid that the Youtuber would give the video to police and they would take against him and this prompted him to accost the tourist, the agency's sources said.
