A family from Maharashtra's Nashik district was allegedly chased and attacked for nearly 15km after they objected to the harassment of a woman.

The incident occurred at the Bhavli Dam and waterfall area in Igatpuri town on Sunday.

The Bhagwat family was visiting the tourist spot when they noticed a group of men harassing one of their female members.

Family's car was also vandalized during the attack

When the Bhagwat family confronted the accused over their behavior, an argument broke out, which soon escalated into violence.

The attackers then chased their vehicle for around 15km, intercepting and assaulting them with wooden sticks and iron rods.

In a viral video, two of the attackers are seen hurling projectiles toward the car.
