In a disturbing incident that has sparked outrage online, a 25-year-old woman was brutally assaulted at a private clinic in Kalyan, Maharashtra, for simply doing her job.
The attack took place on Monday evening at Shree Balachitikha Clinic, where receptionist Sonali Kalasare was assaulted by Gokul Jha after she asked him to wait his turn to see the doctor. A video of the horrific attack has since gone viral, showing the man kicking and dragging her by the hair in full public view.
Instead of cooperating, Jha reportedly hurled abuses at her. When Sonali asked him to stop, he left—only to return moments later and launch a violent assault, punching, kicking, and dragging her across the reception area.
The shocking moment was captured on CCTV and widely shared on social media, prompting public condemnation.
"Based on the victim's complaint, we have registered an FIR under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita for assault, using obscene language, and outraging the modesty of a woman," a police official told PTI.
As the investigation continues, citizens await action that sends a strong message against such acts of violence and intimidation.
