Mumbai: MNS men hit elderly women, hurl abuses; police to take strict action

Video grab of the man slapping the women in Mumbai

The incident reportedly happened on August 28 and following which, the Mumbai Police registered a case. The accused man identified as Vinod Argile is said to be a member of Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).

The woman's medical examination has been conducted, and action will be taken very soon, police have said.

Apparently, a few members of the MNS were installing bamboo poles in the city's Mumba Devi area, but the elderly woman stop them from putting them up in front of her shop. This angered the MNS men and they started hurling abuses, a NDTV report said.

A local MNS leader has said the party does not support such acts. "Our senior leaders will take action against it. But the video being shown is incomplete," Keshav Mule, local ward chief, was quoted as saying by Free Press Journal.
