The victim
A 20-year-old girl alleged that a corporator from Mira-Bhaynder Municipal Corporation allegedly molested her. The girl lives in the same society where the corporator resides.
On October 18, an argument took place between the complainant and the corporator about playing a particular song during Navratri celebrations. The argument soon turned heated and corporator Daulat Gajare's wife Kamal and his daughter beat up the complainant. Corporator Gajare, allegedly encouraged the duo to thrash the victim.
Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik and MP Rajan Naik backed the complainant and demanded the arrest of the corporator along with his wife and daughter. The cops eventually arrested the accused and produced them in court, where they were later released on bail.
