‘I was scared’: German content creator detained for dancing on Bengaluru streets, bangs his head as cop drags him to police van

“Don’t be sorry guys. This could have happened in any country. It’s not about India. One little experience like that won’t take away my love for India,” he says in the video. “This was my first time being taken to the Police Station!! I was scared they would send me to prison but luckily Everything was fine! I’m Safe and I love India!!” he wrote in the caption.

The video quickly gained traction, amassing a wave of reactions. “As an Indian, I feel deeply sorry for the way you were treated. You came here as a guest, and no guest deserves to be thrown into a vehicle or handled with aggression over such a minor issue. Sadly, it’s not just some citizens — even many in our police force lack basic civil sense and empathy,” a user wrote. “Very bad handling of a tourist. Shameful work,” another user commented.

“The arrest is not the problem; everyone is subject to the law. The issue is how they handle him. How can they push someone this hard?” a third user reacted.

Robinson has earlier won hearts with street dance videos in several cities, including Mumbai and New Delhi. A video of him dancing with a Mumbai cop early this year had won plaudits from social media users.
