On Thursday (20th February), a woman named Riya Bhattacharya was detained after she assaulted a minor in a residential building in Greater Noida. The incident occurred a day earlier on Wednesday (19th February).
In a video that went viral on social media, the victim could be seen requesting the accused not to bring her pet dog into the lift. The boy, who appeared visibly scared, made heartfelt appeals with folded hands.
The accused refused to comply and instead assaulted the victim. She then manhandled him and shoved the minor out of the lift.
नोएडा: महिला कुत्ते के साथ लिफ्ट में आती है। कुत्ता देख बच्चा डर जाता है। महिला बच्चे को लिफ्ट से निकालती है और थप्पड़ों की बौछाड़ करती है। ऐसी महिला को लक्ष्मी का रूप कहा जाए या डायन? शहरों में ऐसी दुष्ट महिलाओं की संख्या बढ़ रही है। पागलखाने भेजा जाए इन्हें। pic.twitter.com/LXWaCGJAjc
