Indian man being confronted by a group

A viral video circulating on social media shows an Indian man being confronted by a group of self-styled “British patriots” in the United Kingdom over allegations that he attempted to have online sex with a 14-year-old girl.During the encounter, the man is seen apologizing and repeatedly asking for a second chance.In the footage, the man, identified as 27-year-old Praveen Bhatt, is seen apologizing and repeatedly pleading for forgiveness during the confrontation.In the video, which has been widely shared on social media platforms, Bhatt can be heard saying, “This is the first time I have done this, and it will be the last time. Please give me one last chance.” “According to media reports, Bhatt had moved to Britain three years ago on a student visa and later remained in the country on a post-study visa after completing his education at the University of Leeds.During the confrontation, Bhatt appears to admit to sending the messages on the account. The authenticity of the exchanges could not be independently verified.The group that confronted him also alleges that he attempted to arrange a meeting and asked for money from the girl to book a hotel room.In several moments captured on camera, Bhatt is seen distressed and asking the group not to involve the police. It is unclear whether any formal complaint has been filed or whether UK authorities are investigating the matter.The video does not establish whether the account belonged to a genuine minor or was part of a fraudulent operation. No official statement was immediately available from the police regarding the incident.The video has sparked online discussion over similar cases that have emerged in Britain in recent months. Earlier this year, another viral video showed an Indian national, Gurit Jitesh, being confronted by police in Coventry over alleged online conversations with underage individuals before being arrested.
