A 35-year-old woman who was walking her dogs at Khorlim, Mapusa had a shocking run-in with a neighbour. A man allegedly assaulted her and touched her inappropriately and fled only after neighbours came to her rescue.
The woman has filed a complaint with the Mapusa Police against the alleged accused Ronni Shah who has been booked but is yet to be arrested.
According to the complainant, she was walking her dog out at around 9 pm in the parking lot of Ananya Apartments, Khorlim when the accused, who is also a resident of the same area, came with his scooter and after parking his two-wheeler questioned, “Is this the time to take your dogs for a walk?”
She said he rushed on her and pulled her hair and also kicked the dogs.
She further said that the accused abused her with filthy words, touched her inappropriately and kept hitting her by holding her hair.
“I raised an alarm for help and the occupants of my neighbouring flats rushed to the spot but the accused fled from the spot to his flat,” she said.
Mapusa Police has lodged a complaint against the alleged accused under Sections 504, 324, 506 (ii), 509 and 354 IPC for assault, criminal intimidation and outraging the modesty of a woman.
