A Muslim couple in Mira Road alleged molestation after they brought two goats for Bakrid and kept them inside their flat. The incident unfolded when the couple returned from the market and encountered a group of 15 to 30 people, including residents, who stopped them at the society gate.
A day after a Muslim woman filed a molestation complaint against 30-odd residents of Mira Road society after her and her husband brought two goats for Bakrid and had kept them inside their flat, a 63-year-old woman from a neighbouring society has filed a complaint claiming that the former’s husband molested her.
On Tuesday evening, when the couple returned from the market after shopping, 15 to 30 people, including a few residents, stopped them at the society gate.
“They checked our car and questioned my husband on bringing goats and and keeping them inside the flat. They threatened that they would (forcefully) take the goats from our flat. To this my husband reacted and they started manhandling us… During the scuffle they also tore my clothes, forcing me to call police,” Yasmin Khan said in her statement to police.
An FIR was filed against 11 people on charges of rioting and molestation after they allegedly protested and manhandled the couple.
According to personnel of Mira Road police station, the FIR was filed on the complaint of Yasmin Khan, who lives with her husband and a four-year-old son in Estela Building, Vinay Nagar, on Mira Road.
The couple had bought two goats couple of days ago for sacrifice on Bakrid and had kept them inside their flat.
Meanwhile, a complaint has been filed against the woman's husband Mohsin Khan under section 354 (molestation) and 506 (II) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code, police said.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, Khan claimed that he has been targeted by political parties because he is a member of chief minister Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena and is the shakha pramukh of shakha number eight in Dahisar.
