The video, which went massively viral in 2023, showed Geeta Jain, who was the sitting MLA for Mira-Bhayander at the time, expressing her anger at two municipal engineers.
In the video, she is seen slapping Junior Engineer Shubham Patil and grabbing his collar while shouting. The incident occurred on June 16, 2023, in the slum area near Kakkad Building in Penkar Pada, Mira Road.

Former MLA Geeta Jain had rushed to the site after receiving information about the incident. She questioned the officials, asking, “Why was the civic body carrying out this action when there are government orders against demolition during the monsoon season?”
