In the Bhavli Dam tourist assault case, a new video has surfaced on the internet. The visuals show a woman from the Nashik family being allegedly beaten by the accused.
The footage shared on social media shows the woman being assaulted, with locals claiming that the attack stemmed from the initial argument.
Attack after alleged harassment
The controversy began eight days ago when the miscreants allegedly harassed a woman while she was with her family at Bhavli Dam for a picnic. Following the harassment, a clash broke out between the family and the accused. The accused then chased and attacked the family and damaged their vehicles.
The visuals shared show that after the alleged assault, two men chased the family on a bike and hit the car in which the family was travelling with a rod.
Arrests increase to 12
Following the assault, a case has been registered at the Igatpuri Police Station. Initially, nine accused were arrested after the case was filed. The total number of arrests has now increased from nine to 12.
According to reports, the 44-year-old woman stated in the FIR that she, her husband, son, daughter, a brother-in-law and two nephews were visiting a waterfall near the dam on Sunday when two youths whistled at her and started harassing her.
When the family intervened following the alleged harassment, the altercation escalated, and the accused allegedly tore the woman's clothes. Moreover, the accused also snatched the woman's phone, and when her husband tried to take it back, they allegedly snatched the 20-gram gold chain he was wearing and assaulted him, the complaint said.
