Thane: A major controversy has erupted in Thane’s busy Talao Pali area after members of the Shiv Sena Mahila Aghadi allegedly assaulted several women accused of engaging in prostitution in public and forced them to leave the locality. The activists claimed they intervened after repeated complaints to the police allegedly failed to result in action.
Viral Video Shows Alleged Assault
A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows members of the women's wing slapping and abusing the women. Some activists are also seen pulling them by their hair and allegedly hitting them with sugarcane sticks.
According to the Mahila Aghadi workers, women allegedly involved in sex work had been operating openly in the Talao Pali area, leading to discomfort among local residents and pedestrians in the crowded area.
