Mob molests 2 girls in Mumbai
Shocking pictures have emerged of how two young women were
molested by a mob of 70 to 80 men at Mumbai's Juhu area in the early hours of
New Year's Day.
The women, one in a black dress and the other in a jeans and
top emerged from the JW Marriott with two male friends around 1:45 am, and began
walking towards Juhu beach close by.
A mob of about 40 got after them and began teasing the women
when one of the women swore loudly at the hooligans. But the mob, now 70-80
strong, wouldn't let go.
They trapped the women near a vehicle and a tree, and pounced
on them. A man in a white shirt tore off the black dress. Another, in a blue
shirt, led the assault.
As the women fell on the ground, dozens of men jumped on them.
These pictures were taken by two Hindustan Times lensmen, who
alerted the police. The police have so far not registered any FIR.
Exactly a year ago in the otherwise known to be safe city,
a girl was molested by New Year's eve revellers at the Gateway of India.
