Similar Incident Recently Reported In Mumbai
Meanwhile in a similar incident from Mumbai that was reported recently, a 27-year-old woman rescued another woman being assaulted in an auto-rickshaw in Mumbai's Oshiwara on Thursday night. She took the victim to the police station but allegedly no official helped and she was asked uncomfortable questions.
Mumbai Police Issues Clarification
Later, the Mumbai Police has shared the complete details of the incident and claimed that the woman who is said to be the rescuer was asked to not film the complainant, as privacy has to be maintained. The police in their response said, "A dispute over travel plans led to a physical assault on the complainant by the accused (reportedly a friend of the complainant) in an auto-rickshaw. A passerby, who witnessed the incident, intervened and escorted the complainant to the police station. We appreciate the gesture, all except interfering in the process of complaint registration, by continuously recording a video - we wish to reiterate, that we would prefer the complainant’s privacy being maintained."
The officials registered the complaint and medical treatment was offered which the complainant declined. The accused was issued a notice under Section 168 of BNSS (CrPC 149) in the matter, according to Mumbai police.
