Mumbai: Nagpada police on Thursday arrested three MNS employees after a video went viral on social media showing a man assaulting, pushing, and assaulting an elderly woman.
Mumbai police said the suspects were identified as Vinod Argyle, Raju Argyle, and Satish Lad.
The police registered a case under sections 323.337.506 504.509 of section 7 of the criminal law of the IPC.
Police said the accused was setting up bamboo in front of the victim’s shop to hang a banner welcoming Ganesh supporters when a woman objected.
Prakash Devi, the victim told the media: “They beat me and beat me. Yes, I did (when asked if she had filed a lawsuit).
The police are investigating. They wanted to install a banner outside my shop, but I refused and told them to install it elsewhere, so they beat me … no woman should do that. “
In a shocking incident last Thursday, a man was seen pushing and beating a woman in Mumbai’s Kamathipura district.
The incident came to light when a video went viral on August 28. The brawl began over the installation of bamboo poles in front of the woman’s shop without her permission.
“An unrecognizable violation was filed at the Nagpada Police Station,” Mumbai police said.
Both the man and the woman can be seen abusing each other as locals and passersby watch the fight.
The man can hit and push the woman several times, and she seems to cry and jump every time she is pushed.
“Do what you want, take whoever you want”, the man in the video is heard saying.
Later, another man arrives on the scene and is seen chasing her away as the woman appeared to be crying.
Further investigations into the matter are ongoing.
