Viral Video: Indian Student Arrested in UK for Online Grooming

A disturbing viral video has sparked outrage across India and the diaspora, showing the arrest of a young Indian student, Gureet Jeetesh, in Coventry, UK, on suspicion of online grooming and communicating with underage girls.

The footage, circulating widely on social media, captures police confronting and detaining Jeetesh at his student accommodation in Red Lane, Coventry. He had been in the UK on a student visa for about 12 weeks.

Local reports indicate the arrest followed allegations of inappropriate online interactions with minors. Police intervened swiftly, but no formal charges have been confirmed yet—it’s still at the suspicion/investigation stage.

Rumors vs Reality

Social media exploded with rumors: some claim “framing” or “racism,” others warn of risks for Indian students abroad. Fact-checks clarify: The video shows a real arrest, but details remain limited—no conviction, no public evidence released beyond suspicion.

Indian community groups in the UK have called for a fair, transparent probe, urging caution against jumping to conclusions. Authorities have not commented publicly yet, citing ongoing investigation.

This incident raises bigger questions about student visa safety, online behavior abroad, and how viral clips can spread misinformation fast.
