A 25-year-old woman from Manipur is behind bars now for fighting back when she was heckled and molested by a group of men at Kalina early on Sunday when she was returning from a birthday dinner at a friend\u2019s place.
\nThree of the woman\u2019s friends have also been arrested after they got into a scuffle with her attackers only two of whom have been nabbed. Police said the woman was arrested as she threw a stone at one of her alleged molesters as a result of which he started bleeding for a wound to his head.
\nThe woman and a friend were looking for an autorickshaw when three men started to heckle them, calling them \u201cNepali\u201d and passing abusive remarks. When they protested, the friend said, the woman was molested and both of them were assaulted. He then asked her to go back to their friend\u2019s home nearby for help. The woman was followed by the three who got into a fight with the woman\u2019s friends who had come out of the house. The police have registered two cross-complaints.
\nTwo of the alleged molesters Sudharshan Gaikwad, 46, and Deepak Gandhala, 25, were arrested as were the woman and three of her friends.
\n\u201cThe charge of molestation was added to the complaint because the woman was slapped. The woman has been booked because she threw a stone at one of the accused, who started to bleed. I will have to check if the accused used words like \u201cNepali\u201d. It is possible the accused are uneducated and do not know it is an offence,\u201d said Mahadev Wavale, senior police inspector, Vakola police station.
\nThe four from Manipur were not granted cash bail as they do not have a permanent address. The two attackers have been remanded in police custody for two days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
