Udupi, Aug 31: The controversy surrounding a Mumbai-based YouTuber’s indecent photoshoot at Padubidri beach four days ago has sparked widespread outrage across the state.

Local fishermen have warned against crossing cultural boundaries in the name of promoting tourism. In response, YouTuber Khyatishree has taken to social media to accuse the police, a move that has ignited intense discussion online.

Khyatishree expressed her frustration on Instagram, accusing both the locals and the police of objecting to her bikini photoshoot, which was conducted by her husband. Her post has elicited strong reactions from many netizens.

Dr K Arun, SP of Udupi, commented on the incident, stating, "The public lodged a complaint with the police, reporting that a young man and woman were behaving indecently on the Blue Flag beach at Padubidri. ASI and personnel on duty responded to the scene, informed the couple about the nearby residential area, and asked them to leave the beach. No untoward incident occurred. We have contacted the woman and encouraged her to voice any grievances she may have. If we receive a complaint from her, appropriate action will be taken as per the law."
