A New Zealand tourist, identified as Luke, has once again found himself at the center of controversy during his visit to Maharashtra. Just a day after he was seen in a viral video being tricked into repeating Marathi abuses by a group of local youths at Pune’s Sinhagad Fort, another clip has surfaced, this time from Murud-Janjira Fort. In the latest video, Luke, who runs the YouTube channel @Lukethexplorer, is seen being offered chewing tobacco by a local youth. The tourist approached the youth for historical information, but during the conversation, the youth pulled out banned tobacco products like pan masala and gutkha. When Luke showed curiosity, the youth not only explained what it was but also handed some over to him. Police have registered an FIR after the videos surfaced online.

New Zealand Tourist Targeted Twice in Maharashtra
इतक्यात हा दुसरा व्हिडीओ समोर आलाय. परदेशी व्यक्तीला गडावर तंबाखू देऊन त्याच्याकडून शिवीगाळ करवली जातेय. यावर कधी कारवाई होणार? जनतेची मागणी – सर्व गडांवर पोलिस बंदोबस्त हवा. प्रवेशद्वारावरच प्लास्टिक, तंबाखू, गुटखा यांना बंदी सोबत प्रत्येकाची तपासणी व गस्त असावी. @ShelarAshish pic.twitter.com/vXPBNa4moX

Luke Tricked Into Using Abusive Words
माझी महाराष्ट्र पोलिसांना विनंती आहे
छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांच्या सिंहगड किल्ल्यावर आलेल्या परदेशी पर्यटकांसोबत टवाळखोर अवलादीच्या लोकांनी जे कृत्य केले आहे त्याचा या लोकांना असा धडा शिकवा की यांना यांचे बापच नाही यांचे आजोबा पंजोबा आठवले पाहिजेत
