A complaint was filed against a woman who confronted Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan during a traffic jam in Mumbai’s Worli after a protest march caused heavy congestion. The complainant, Zen Sadavarte, criticised the woman’s alleged abusive behaviour toward police and officials. The incident, caught on video, has sparked debate over public inconvenience and protest conduct.
A complaint has been filed against a woman who confronted Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan during a traffic jam in Worli, after a protest march over the Women’s Reservation Bill led to massive congestion on city roads.
The complaint was lodged on Thursday by Zen Sadavarte, daughter of advocate Gunratna Sadavarte, following a viral video showing the woman angrily questioning the minister over the disruption caused to commuters.
While speaking to the media after filing the complaint, Zen Sadavarte slammed the woman’s behaviour against the authorities. She also criticised the woman’s abusive language against the cops and her poor choice of words for raising the issue.
Later, she also questioned her intent for disrespecting Minister Girish Mahajan. Zen then said that insults towards the hardworking police officers and public functionaries will not be tolerated. She showed her complaint letter to the media, confirming the plaint filed at the Worli police station, and also urged the cops to file an FIR against the woman as soon as possible.
What Is The Controversy About?
The controversy erupted after an incident occurred during a BJP-led march towards the Worli Dome, organised to protest the non-passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha. The rally, held on Monday, witnessed a large turnout, resulting in heavy traffic snarls and leaving hundreds of motorists stranded.
In the viral clip, the woman is seen confronting Mahajan and demanding that the protest be shifted to an open ground instead of blocking public roads. “Say what you want to say in an empty ground, get out of here, don’t stop the traffic. There are hundreds of people waiting,” she is heard saying. Visuals also show the woman raising her voice, allegedly throwing bottles, and arguing with police personnel who attempted to remove her from the spot.
