individuals harassed the couple and checked their passports, questioning their “motives” for praying in such a public space.

In defence, the tourists explained that they were searching for a place to pray, but they could not find one in that area. Upon finding a “clean place” where nobody was around, so they decided to pray there. However, their actions provoked aggression from some Hindu members who attacked and chased them, prompting police to intervene.
