A man has been booked today for allegedly causing harm to a woman and sexually harassing her, an official said.

In the video of the incident that has gone viral, it can be seen that a man is assaulting a woman near a salon in an upscale Ahmedabad locality. The man has been identified as Moshin.

Verbal spat led to assault by business partner

In a video statement, the victim spoke about the incident that took place on Sept 25.

“We had incurred a financial loss of about ₹4,000 - ₹5,000. Consequently, I reprimanded a female staff member. Mohsin, filled with anger, questioned my decision to scold her. I inquired if he had a personal relationship with the staff member, prompting his defence.

She added, “Subsequently, he launched a vicious assault. I implored him to cease the violence and engage in a rational conversation, but my pleas fell on deaf ears.”

The confrontation escalates as the man advances towards the woman, while another individual seen in the video attempts to intervene and halt Mohsin’s aggression. All these efforts prove futile, as Mohsin proceeds to drag the woman by her hand and brutally assault her, even pulling her hair.

She recalls the account, “I attempted to contact the police using the 100 helpline but he forcibly took away my phone. My phone’s battery was draining and the device eventually powered off. Fearing for my safety, I began running, eventually escaping from his grasp.”

Complaint filed after support from local police

The victim also detailed that Mohsin later issued an apology, leading her to initially withhold filing a formal complaint.

She recounted: “He expressed remorse, and I forgave him, refraining from pursuing legal action. Initially, I hesitated to lodge a formal complaint, reluctant to witness him face legal consequences. Nevertheless, with support from the police, I decided to file a complaint.”

After the video emerged, the police reached out to the victim, who hails from the northeast, and initiated legal proceedings based on her statement.

The woman told the police that she and Mohsin were business partners, and were operating a women’s salon in Sindhu Bhavan area of Ahmedabad.
