A viral video has ignited a heated debate after revealing a Delhi couple’s decision to secretly monitor their daughter. The clip showcased Tanya Puri, a private investigator, recounting how the couple suspected their daughter of having a hidden boyfriend and engaged her firm to track the young woman.
During a podcast, Puri shared that the daughter, a Delhi University student, was followed for several days without incident. However, the investigators later observed her visiting GTB Nagar, where brothels are located. It was discovered she was earning extra money there to buy luxury clothing and fund outings with friends.
The video’s release coincided with renewed online discussion about Swami Aniruddhacharya’s controversial remarks, in which he alleged women above 25 possess “loose morals” and advised marriage by age 14 for smoother adjustment with in-laws. Some users cited his comments to justify the parents’ actions, prompting sharp criticism for perpetuating regressive and offensive ideas.
Social media was divided — many condemned the parents’ intrusive measures, calling it an invasion of privacy. One commenter wrote, “They could afford a detective but not give her enough money? Wow.” Others questioned the family’s contradictory stance: restricting relationships and spending, yet funding surveillance.
Critics also highlighted broader societal concerns, noting how controlling environments can push young adults into risky situations. The case has stirred discussions around trust, parental boundaries, gender stereotypes, and the ethics of private surveillance
