Some users raise wider pollution concerns
While most comments criticised the alleged act shown in the video, some users pointed out that the lake also faces pollution from sewage and waste.
One comment claimed that sewage from houses and hotels around Nainital enters the lake through drains and stormwater channels. Others questioned whether the focus should only be on one person's alleged act when the lake faces larger environmental concerns.
The contrasting reactions have highlighted a broader concern about protecting Nainital Lake, one of Uttarakhand's best-known tourist attractions.
Nainital attracts large numbers of visitors every year, with boating on the lake being one of the main attractions. The lake is also an important part of the town's identity and a major source of livelihood for people working in tourism.
Locals have often stressed the need for visitors to keep tourist places clean and follow basic rules while travelling.
The viral video has now renewed calls for tourists to behave responsibly and respect public spaces.
While the authenticity and full circumstances of the video have not been independently verified, the incident has clearly triggered a strong public reaction.
