At first, the woman refrained from filing a complaint against the accused immediately after the incident. However, the police took proactive steps by involving a social worker, who assisted in providing her with counselling. Subsequently, an FIR was lodged against Mohsin.
Upon further investigation, it came to light that the woman was Mohsin’s business partner at the spa. The altercation between them escalated, leading to Mohsin physically assaulting her, including pulling her by the hair. The widely circulated video of the incident has ignited widespread public outcry.
Responding to the victim’s complaint, the Bodakdev police have charged Mohsin under IPC sections 354A, 294(b), 323. According to the victim, she was in a partnership with Mohsin in a women’s salon. The dispute arose when she reprimanded a female employee over a business loss of approximately five thousand rupees. Initially hesitant to file a complaint, the police provided counselling and persuaded her to come forward. The woman expressed her gratitude to both the police and the media for their support.
In a video shared on social media platform ‘X’ the woman said, “I had opened a ladies’ salone in partnership with Mohsin for which fight had taken place on 25th. We had made a loss of Rs. 5000 for which I scolded a girl. Mohsin got angry and objected to this. I asked him why he was favouring that girl and what was his relationship with that girl for which he was angry so much. He got angry and started beating me up. I was about to dial the ‘100’ number to call the police, but he snatched away my mobile phone. The phone had a low battery and went off. I ran away and escaped the place and came to the road. Mohsin apologized and I forgave him so I didn’t go to the police station. After the video went viral, Police came to know about this. I was receiving constant calls today. I was not ready to file an FIR even today, but I was told by all that it has happened to me today, tomorrow it must not happen to someone else as well. All have supported me though I am from the North East,” the victim woman said.
