Last month, the Uttar Pradesh police took cognisance of a viral video in which a lady was seen abusing and hitting security personnel at a housing complex. The woman, identified as Bhaavya Roy, was arrested after a complaint was filed against her.
The police registered a case against Roy under sections 323, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. The woman was caught on camera physically assaulting and verbally abusing a security guard in what appeared to be a glaring example of class discrimination.
