The woman who could not bear her insult picked up the slippers and bashed him up the police said.

Later, the president of the BJP Thane Mahila Morcha Mrunal Pendse, who is also a city corporator, was alerted about the incident and she arrived with a brigade of at least 15 activists to the spot.

The irate woman gave the accused a good beating and alleged that he was drunk. The man was beaten up blue and black and dragged to the police station after which the present offense was registered against him.

The entire video of the victim beating up the accused has gone viral on social media.

Talking to the media persons, the visibly irritated and concerned Mrunal declared that if anyone indulges in harassment or teasing of women, Mahila Morcha will not tolerate it.
Be the victim and the accused from any caste, creed or religion or party. This should be a deterrent to such eve-teasers and the women harassers, she warned. (UNI)
