MUMBAI: A Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) worker was attacked by a woman when she stopped her for not wearing a protective mask. The shocking incident has been caught on camera.

Maharashtra is once again dealing with an alarming surge in Coronavirus cases and to tackle the situation, stricter Covid-19 restrictions have been imposed in the state.

Amid the grave Covid-19 situation, a woman in Mumbai’s Kandivali Road was seen boarding an autorickshaw while not wearing a mask. She was stopped by another woman – a BMC worker in a dark blue uniform.

The civic body worker reportedly asked the violator to wear her mask or pay the fine but in a shocking turn of events, the woman instead of following the directive began slapping and kicking the BMC employee.

In the video shot on a mobile camera, the BMC worker can be seen not letting go of the violator and taking her out of the auto-rickshaw. The female violator continued to slap the BMC worker and even pulled the latter’s hair in her hands with visible force.
