"We have arrested Abhimanyu and his friend and have registered a case against the duo and their woman friend who had called them to the salon," said Shailesh Pasalwad, senior police inspector of Mumbai Police. On May 16, one of Abhimanyu's friends called him to come to the salon after one of the employees of the salon allegedly touched her inappropriately while massaging her head.

The actor, along with his friend, reached the salon in Lokhandwala and started beating the employee. They also attacked him with a knife. In the CCTV footage, the actor along with his friend can be seen beating the employee. The footage also shows another woman employee getting hurt during the brawl. According to Pasalwad, a complaint has been lodged against the salon employee based on the complaint filed by Abhimanyu's friend.

The source added, "We have 10 salons from Bandra to Mira Road. This one had been recently opened. All of our customers are high-profile, mostly from the TV and film industry. The actor visited our Lokhandwala salon for the first time and created a nuisance. We suggested him to approach police station if his friend has been molested but he chose to create nuisance here. He registered the case against Sadiq after police started searching for two of her male friends who molested our female staffer and thrashed Sadiq."
